VCAL, VCE and Alternative Entry
We all thrive in different conditions, which is why an alternative way of undertaking VCAL and VCE might be what you need to flourish.
Swinburne Secondary Programs update
Swinburne Secondary Programs (SSP) has closed all VCE applications for 2022 and we will no longer be delivering an academic VCE program from 2023 onwards.
Our VCAL and VCE courses are designed for current secondary school students, giving you a range of options and the ability to focus on practical learning.
VCAL courses (Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning) provide vocational learning with an emphasis on five key areas: literacy, numeracy, work-related skills, personal development, and industry skills.
Swinburne’s VCE Connect provides you with a VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) qualification within a supportive learning environment, and with all the benefits and facilities of studying at a university.
If you’re a current Year 12 student and keen to gain entry to a Swinburne degree or UniLink program without an ATAR, check out our Early Entry Program.
