Alternative Degree Pathways

Getting a start with your studies

For students who wish to start their studies in a smaller dose, Sheridan offers a 1-year undergraduate diploma in Business.

Starting with a diploma helps you assess your readiness for the full Bachelor degree.

Diplomas can also be early exit qualifications. If you commenced your Bachelor degree, but for personal reasons are not able to continue, you may still be able to exit with a Diploma provided you have completed the required units for the course.

Completing your degree at another institution

Alternatively, you might wish to undertake a 1-year diploma at Sheridan and then complete the rest of your degree at a university in WA, or at a higher education in another Australian state.

Sheridan has formal pathway agreements with the following higher education institutions.
