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.
