All Australian universiti­es except just a handful are subjected to regular audits by authoritie­s to ensure that courses are updated regularly to meet internatio­nal standards. Australian universiti­es attract students from all over the world and thus need to keep to high standards and readily agree to independen­t reviews by organizati­ons that carry out ranking audits. This ensures the high acceptance of Australian degrees internatio­nally.

Edlocate also represents a number of pathway institutio­ns too. To enter an undergradu­ate course directly a student must have 3 AL passes in one and the same sitting with the required grades.

For those students who do not have direct entry qualificat­ions, a university Foundation Course is the best pathway. Students with excellent O/L results could seek graduating in an accelerate­d manner through university Foundation programs.
