The Uni system

Ever wondering what the uni system is like in Australia? Well here's the answer. The Uni system can be really complicated in Australia.
We have so many different courses and parts to this system.
1) TAFE. This can be broken into certificate and diploma courses. It is a pathway for Higher education. But the Victorian government plans on slashing many courses as of next year.
2)Higher Education, ie Bachelors. This is what most students undertake and it takes about 3 to 4 years to finish. It can be easy or relatively hard depending on what you want to study. You will also have to do a placement of some sort as part of your degree.
3) Double degree- This takes about 5 or 6 years and lots and lots of dedication and learning.
4) Masters- this is postgraduate and you need some sort of undergraduate degree for this.
5) PhD- this is mainly a type of research course. Students work and study in this course. They work in their related field. It is quite difficult and it needs a lot of time and effort into this. You need to know lots of stuff before attempting this. You will spend some nights up studying and writing your thesis. You will need very good English for this and be a self starter/learner.
6) Foundation- its perfect for those that need to study English before going into their Higher ed course.
