Course prerequisites
Careers
What are the prerequisites?
Most courses require students to present a folio at interview.
Folio requirements vary according to the institution. Details
are usually provided at Open Days. Some universities also
make available on these days folio-selection kits.
Many TAFE colleges and universities run short courses in
folio preparation. These vary in cost but are an excellent way
to develop a folio.
Prerequisites for tertiary courses are found in the VICTER
(Victorian Tertiary Entrance Requirements), which is available
from the school Careers Centre or from www.vtac.edu.au.
