Australia is a country with top quality education, friendly living environment, many preferential policies, attracting a large number of international students. In particular, the Australian university system has 7 universities in the Top 100 universities worldwide in 2023.

🎓 This success is partly due to the rigorous quality accreditation from the Australian Department of Education with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) - an Australian education framework that specifies the qualifications and educational goals of each individual student school level.

 

🧐 So, what are the specific ranks in the AQF and the goals of each?

 

AQF includes high school diplomas, training courses, vocational training, undergraduate and postgraduate education. AQF has 10 levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 10 being the highest.

 

✍️ CERTIFICATE (levels 1-4): equivalent to a vocational intermediate degree in Vietnam, a Certificate provides basic knowledge and skills to work in a certain professional environment. These courses are typically offered by TAFE colleges, community education centers and registered private training providers.

 

✍️ DIPLOMA (level 5, 6, 8): Diploma includes 3 levels: Diploma (level 5), Advanced Diploma (level 6) and Graduate Diploma (level 8). In particular, the Diploma is chosen by many parents because it can transfer from grade 12 in Vietnam directly to year 2 at an Australian university. Thereby, the route of international students is shortened by at least 1 year and saved up to 1 billion VND compared to the normal route. With the TNE Diploma, the degree is valid indefinitely and is globally recognized. At the same time, students can also receive scholarships up to 80% when applying through TNE Global at (link).

 

✍️ BACHELOR'S DEGREE (level 7): for university graduates with a training period of usually 3-4 years. A bachelor's degree offers a multitude of exciting career opportunities for students in Australia.

 

✍️ GRADUATE DIPLOMA (level 8): equivalent to a 2nd degree in Vietnam, with a training period of 6 months - 1 year. This degree allows students to study fields that are not available with a Bachelor's degree, thereby expanding their knowledge and employment opportunities.

 

✍️ MASTER'S DEGREE (Level 9): the training period is about 1 to 4 years, with the aim of training technical experts for Government agencies and technology companies.

 

✍️ DOCTORAL DEGREE (level 10): The program aims to train professional scientists, senior researchers, and teaching human resources for universities.
