Editor's Notes
- Alicia Hi! Introductions. This is Glenda and I’m Alicia and we come from Griffith University and QUT. Our specific role is in the area of Adult Learner Engagement. So we have the privilege to speak to you today as students in the Adult Tertiary Preparation Program and we thank your teachers for giving us this opportunity. We’ve been giving this talk to ATP students for many years now and we are looking forward to getting to know some of you and offer support throughout the semester while you study the ATP here at TAFE. We are also very pleased to introduce the student ambassadors to you. They will speak to you a little later about their personal journey into uni and the challenges they have faced and overcome. Firstly, how many of you are thinking of going to university? What courses are you thinking of applying for? What are other reasons why you have decided to ATP? What do you hope to achieve by completing this course? Are you thinking of doing other ATP subjects semester 2, 2016?
- Try these other self-assessment tools as well – these sites will be useful for your research
- Some examples of how your OP (or Rank) can improve with different types of study. Again be mindful that different unis have different rules around upgrading. If you do poorly in your upgrading study than can impact your OP/Rank too – you need to choose something you like and will do well in Explain what course cut-offs mean If you don’t think you are going to make the OP for your dream course, make sure you have some good back preferences and talk to your Guidance Officer, QTAC or QUT staff about upgrading options
- Alicia Part of choosing where you will study, is understanding why ranks for similar/same courses vary between universities and between campuses at the same university. Does a higher rank at one uni mean they offer a better learning experience and/or are more highly regarded by industry? (the answer is “it depends”) From this slide you will see the effects of supply and demand at work. More central campuses are in higher demand relative to the number of student places, so the rank is driven up. Between universities the more established course at one university, may attract more applicants and so drive up demand. This may or may not mean the course is of a higher quality, with superior resources, higher industry recognition etc. You really have to look deeper. You will also find that unis don’t all offer exactly the same course title, and the units within the course can vary considerably. Another option available for people interested studying nursing at Caboolture is that you can apply to do what’s called a dual award i.e. you can apply through QTAC to study the Diploma of Nursing AND the Bachelor of Nursing both here at Caboolture campus. The diploma takes 18 months and you will get a year of study credits off the three year bachelor degree in nursing which means in total you can get two qualifications in 3.5 years of full-time study. This is one advantage. Also if you want, you can go out and start work as an Enrolled Nurse (EN) after 18 months and graduating with the diploma. You can start studying the degree part-time. Or you could, just for a while, increase your skills and experience working only and then go back to full-time or part-time study at QUT later to get your degree which may also suit your circumstances. So you would be earning and learning at the same time after a year and a half of study. Another advantage is that you can get both qualifications at a campus that you are very familiar with, here at Caboolture. The cost of a dual award will be more expensive though. A diploma costs $11, 600 for the three semesters. A bit less - $10, 424 - for people who qualify for the concession rate i.e. you are listed on an Australian Government Low Income Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, if you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, you hold a Department of Veterans' Affairs Pensioner Concession Card, or if you have a disability. Based on 2015 rates, you will pay a bit over $12,000 to get the degree. In total, a dual award in nursing should cost you about $23, 000 or $24, 000 whereas a single bachelor degree will cost you $18,000. At both TAFE and university you can defer all these costs with a loan from the federal government that you will only have to pay back once you are earning over $53, 000. You have nothing to pay upfront.
