SAIBT is a valuable alternative for students completing Year 12 who have not met the entry requirements for direct entry into university. SAIBT provides students uninterrupted progression into the University of South Australia (UniSA) where students will first undertake a SAIBT Diploma which can then be used for admission into UniSA Bachelor programs with advanced credit. Credit in most instances is a full year of their degree.
All year 12 graduates are eligible to study at SAIBT, regardless of their results or ATAR. Our diplomas are delivered in a supportive environment, where small class sizes and nurtured learning are designed to set them up to succeed.
SAIBT is for students who:
- Did not meet ATAR entrance requirements to get directly into UniSA
- Completed Year 12 but did not attain an ATAR
- Did not complete enough SACE subjects at high school
- Successfully completed Year 11
- Are a mature-aged student that did not meet mature-age university entry requirements (assessed case-by-case)
SAIBT is located on UniSA’s City East campus, SAIBT students have access to all UniSA’s services and facilities and study in a vibrant and diverse learning environment with small class sizes and personalised teaching. Core classes are capped at 25 students. This allows for one on one support, interaction and assistance between teaching staff and students and allows teachers to better assess individual student needs.
It may be possible to have the Diploma packaged with your UniSA Bachelor preference. Please refer to the SAIBT website for the most up-to-date information on packaged bachelor options and course credit.
Students can commence at SAIBT after Year 11 or Year 12, with a low or no ATAR result. After the SAIBT Diploma, you can apply to your preferred UniSA Bachelor program via SATAC, or if you were issued with a packaged offer you will simply transfer between SAIBT and UniSA. This process will be explained in detail to you during your last trimester with us.
