Articulation is an important part of the Australian tertiary education system. Articulation means approved progression from one level of education (e.g. a Diploma) to another (e.g. a Bachelor) within the Australian Qualifications Framework. Articulation with credit means you are credited for your prior study – meaning you can enter your next course with advanced standing. In many cases, this means direct entry into Year 2 of the relevant Bachelor program.

EQC Institute’s ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology qualifies for articulation with credit into a number of university Bachelor programs. This means our students can progress into approved programs, by entry into Year 2. See below for further information, sorted by state. Terms and conditions may apply at the relevant university and how to enquire with each university is listed below.
