The Direct Entry and Scholarship Program can guarantee you a place in a Diploma program based on your vocational studies and industry experience. No OP or Rank is required. The Direct Entry and Scholarship Program recognises that you may be well suited to a particular course and offers a direct place. It focuses on your personal attributes and your suitability to a particular course you are interested in.
