University Partnerships

University, TAFE articulation

North Coast TAFE nurtures relationships with other educational institutions to ensure that students have the best opportunities to realise their education goals.

Our regional university partners Southern Cross University, University of Newcastle and Griffith University offer significant advanced standing and/or special entry for North Coast TAFE Diploma graduates and both are working actively with us to expand these arrangements.

TAFE/Charles Sturt University Graduate Management Program

This program starts with the Graduate Certificate in Management that leads to a Graduate Diploma in Management and then on to a full Masters in Business Administration (MBA). It is operated by the Australian Graduate Management Consortium, a joint initiative of Charles Sturt University and TAFE NSW institutes, including North Coast TAFE.

North Coast TAFE offers this program as a management development program for a large organisation (e.g. a large company or Council) or group of enterprises/organisations who wish to support the participation of several of their middle and senior managers. Apart from developing the leadership and management capabilities of the management team, employers find this program a powerful way to retain and develop talented staff and include them in succession planning.
