Registration Details
What is STEP?
Southbank Institute of Technology (SBIT) offers units within selected Diploma programs to school students in Years 11 and 12.
This program is known as STEP – Southbank Tertiary Entrance Program.
STEP students will be offered an on-campus experience at SBIT. STEP students will be required on campus at SBIT between 3–8 hours each week. Following Year 12, STEP students will have the opportunity to complete the entire Diploma program at SBIT with confirmed entry and credit into the Diploma they have been studying.
The majority of these Diplomas will provide pathways and credit towards university programs.
Benefits
• Upon completion of Year 12, STEP students will be offered a confirmed entry with credit towards the Diploma they have been studying at school. STEP students will therefore know in Year 11 they have a guaranteed place at SBIT, post senior schooling and the ability to bypass the QTAC process at the end of Year 12.
• Since STEP forms part of a student’s high school curriculum, students will be accumulating credit towards their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) as well as undertaking a Diploma qualification.
• STEP offers students a more affordable option; students pay no tuition fees, only material fees.
• If a STEP student transitions to university after completing their Diploma of choice it is likely to diminish their HECS fees due to reduced time at university and students will graduate with both a Diploma and university qualification in near to the equivalent time it takes to complete a university award.
• The pathways developed by SBIT and university partners provide a quality, highly focused learning experience for STEP students. These pathways combine the complementary strengths of both institutions.
