Reasons to Love Adelaide
South Australia is one of the largest states in Australia.
With a coastline that stretches over 3,700 km, unique
and spectacular landscapes, fabulous beaches, a
great city vibe and places full of cultural and spiritual
significance, there truly is something for everybody in
South Australia.
Affordable Living
Location
Adelaide’s lower cost of living means
that students enjoy great quality of
life with rent, transport and food more
affordable than most other Australian
cities. Statistics show that Adelaide
is 19% more affordable to live in
than Melbourne and Sydney and 7%
cheaper than Perth and Brisbane.
It’s easy to explore Australia from
Adelaide. You can fly to Sydney in less
than two hours, to Melbourne in around
45 minutes, Perth in under four hours
and to Alice Springs for Uluru in about
2 hours. Many airlines offer cheap fares
that students can take advantage of
during their holidays.

markets are more your thing, you will

internationally known for our love
of all things food. The historical

Why Study at TAFE SA?
“I’m looking for a clever
pathway to university”
If you dream of going to university
but would like to gain the practical
knowledge first, TAFE SA is your clever
pathway to university.
Many TAFE SA qualifications at
Certificate IV, Diploma, and Advanced
Diploma level can be used to apply for
university entry.
Complete your degree faster
TAFE SA offers clear pathways
and generous credit arrangements
thanks to its strong connections
with universities.
Many of TAFE SA’s Diploma,
Advanced Diploma and Associate
Degree qualifications can gain you
credit towards your university degree.
This means that you may be able to
complete your university degree in less
time and at a lower cost.
Successful completion of a TAFE SA
Diploma usually provides up to one
year credit for university study and an
Advanced Diploma usually provides up
to a year and a half credit. Successful
completion of an Associate Degree
usually provides up to 2 years credit.
Credit transfer explained
The competitive edge
Credit transfer is the formal recognition
that components of some study/training
programs are equivalent in content
and level to the components of other
training programs. TAFE SA has
formal credit transfer arrangements
in place with the university sector of
South Australia.
Your TAFE SA qualification provides
you with the clever pathway to
university. With your completed TAFE
SA qualification you’ll gain a nationally
recognised and internationally valued
qualification with academic and real life
skills giving you the competitive edge
in your career.
Credit transfer results in:
Application process
>> Automatic status or credit for
eligible students in part(s) of a
course/qualification
>> Exemption from that part of
the course
>> Shorter course duration and
lower cost
Status granted through credit transfer
is recorded on your Student Academic
Record. There are no fees when
applying for recognition through credit
transfer*. For further information go to:
tafesa.edu.au/international/applyinternational-student/
int-credit-transfer
*Application fees may be required by your
intended education provider.
TAFE SA has been approved by the
Department of Immigration and Border
Protection (DIBP) as a Streamlined
Visa Processing (SVP) Provider.
Entry to TAFE SA programs under the
Streamlined Visa Processing system is

“
TAFE SA is very
affordable compared to doing
a university course and with
the flexibility of courses; it was
the obvious choice for me.
Donna Chee – Malaysia
Certificate IV in Hospitality,
Diploma of Human Resource
Management and Diploma of
Business Management
”
Complete your degree for less
TAFE SA and Adelaide are the affordable
study choice. TAFE SA tuition fees are
competitive. A completed TAFE SA
qualification may also help students
to complete their degree faster and
generally at a lower cost by providing
credit toward their university degree.
The indicative cost per year for
TAFE SA Diploma or Advanced
Diploma courses is $12,000 ($AUD)
and the indicative cost per year for
most courses at South Australian
universities is around $30,000 ($AUD).
This means that for every year credit
is received from a university for
your TAFE SA qualification, there is
an indicative cost saving of around
$18,000 ($AUD) per year.
Example of savings
Jackson wants to complete the Bachelor of Engineering
(Electrical and Electronic) at the University of Adelaide.
This will cost him around $30,000 (AUD) for each year of
the four year degree or around $120,000 (AUD) for the
whole degree.
Jackson has chosen to study the Associate Degree in
Electronic Engineering at TAFE SA which costs around
$15,400 (AUD) a year or around $30,800 (AUD) for the
two year course. When Jackson completes his Associate
Degree he can apply for entry to the Bachelor of Engineering
(Electrical and Electronic) at Adelaide University and will gain
two years credit. This means that he will begin university
in the 3rd year of the degree and take just two years to
complete his degree.
At the end of the four years, Jackson will have two
qualifications, the Associate Degree in Electronic Engineering
and the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic).
This is what Jackson’s dual qualification will cost him
compared to if he had entered university directly:

Accommodation
Adelaide has a diverse range
of accommodation options to suit
all requirements and budgets.
Where to live?
When deciding where to live consider:
>> How far away your campus and
other facilities (workplace, sport,
library, shops and markets etc.) are
>> Costs (rent and cost of travel)
>> Lifestyle (if you would like to live
in the city, suburbs or close to
the beach)
>> Preferred living arrangements
(if you like to live alone or would like
to share with other students.)
The most popular types of student
accommodation are student housing
(purpose-built apartments or dormitory
style residences) and private rental
accommodation (apartment or house)
Accommodation
types
Student housing
Adelaide has many accommodation
options specifically for students.
These include dormitory style
accommodation, shared apartments
(individual bedrooms with shared
facilities) or individual studio style
apartments. Most of these provide
students with a private room (so you
can concentrate on your studies) while
sharing other facilities in a friendly
environment where you can mingle
with other students from all over
the world.
Most student housing is located in
the city or near TAFE SA campuses,
saving on transport costs and placing
you close to facilities.
Many of these offer inclusions such as
internet access, utilities, fully furnished
apartments and they may offer
additional services such as meals
or laundry.
Regency International House, foyer
24
TAFE SA | COURSE GUIDE 2015
Regency International House
Lifestyle
Private rental
Regency International House is located
on the TAFE SA Regency Campus,
just 15 minutes from the Adelaide
Central Business District and provides
housing for international students.
The student common room, dining
room, tutorial room and computer
suite (all open 24 hours a day) are
located in the main Administration
block. Other facilities include a Muslim
prayer room and a games room –
a popular retreat for students, with
a pool table, table-tennis and other
activities available within it. Amongst
the landscaped surrounds of Regency
International House are basketball and
tennis courts available for the sole use
of RIH residents.
A private rental allows you to choose
where you want to live - in the city,
near your campus, friends or work or
maybe near the beach. You’ll need
to pay your weekly rent and utilities
such as electricity, gas, water and
telephone.
Close to public transport, shopping
centres and a wide variety of
multicultural restaurants, it’s the
perfect location for international
students studying at many of
TAFE SA’s metropolitan campuses.
Security
With a full-time manager overseeing
all matters relating to students, and a
member of staff on site 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, you can be sure that
there will always be someone around
should an emergency arise.
Comfort
Each villa at Regency International
House is light, bright and airy and
comes fully furnished. Villas are more
than 100 square metres in size and
house four students – all with their
own private bedroom including a
telephone, computer and wireless
internet connection. Each villa has two
ensuite bathrooms, a sitting room and
a kitchenette for light meals or a latenight snack. Laundry facilities are also
included and are shared within each
complex consisting of four villas.
Care
Included in the weekly accommodation
rate are 3 meals a day which are
prepared and made on-site in the
commercial kitchen. Students make
their selection from the cafeteria-style
kitchen and eat, usually with friends,
in the communal dining room, or if
they study at a campus other than
Regency, lunch can be packed for
them to take away. The menu is varied
and changes on a regular basis taking
into account different tastes and
cultural diversity.
Also included in the monthly rate are all
utility costs (water, electricity etc.) and
cleaning of the villas once a week so
that students have more time to focus
on what’s really important.
Regency International House also
organises and promotes social
activities and outings for students on
weekends and holidays which helps
to balance the demands of study and
assists in building a friendly and social
community amongst the residents
allowing students to form friendships
for life.
For further information about Regency
International House visit: tafesa.edu.
au/international/accommodation
Homestay
Homestay is where you live with an
Australian host family. Host families
are located all over Adelaide and
throughout the state.
These are welcoming environments
where you have the chance to really
experience Australian life and practice
your English language skills.
Most homestay hosts offer dining
options which may mean that your
meals are prepared for you or you
may need to provide and prepare your
own food.
As a homestay student you will have
a bedroom with linen, a place to
study and will share the bathroom/s,
kitchen and other facilities with the
homestay family.
The style of accommodation (house or
apartment) and rent payable will vary
from suburb to suburb. You may need
to sign a rental agreement (lease) with
the owner (landlord) and pay some
rent in advance (bond). Once you
have signed a lease you are a tenant
of the property. As a tenant you have
certain rights under Australian law
and your rental bond is refundable
to you at the end of your lease if the
lease conditions are met. For further
information about your rights as a
tenant visit: cbs.sa.gov.au/wcm/
rentingletting/
For a listing of rental properties visit:
realestate.com.au
domain.com.au
Students often share a house and
you can expect to have a bedroom
to yourself, but share the rest of the
house and expenses (electricity, gas
and water) with the other people living
there. If you rent a room in a share
house, you may pay more if the room
is furnished or utilities are included
in the weekly rental cost. Sharing
can be the cheapest option but it
is important to have a clear idea of
how chores and bills will be divided.
It should also be noted that share
accommodation can sometimes mean
you are sharing a room with someone
with little to no privacy (such as a
backpackers hostel).
All homestay families are different; they
may be a couple, a family with children
or a single person. Many Australian
families have pets including dogs. You
will be a part of the household and so
will need to look after your own needs
and may be responsible for keeping
your room tidy and doing your laundry.

“
Before I started the course I had never heard that
buildings could be built to consume less energy and
why that was important. The TAFE SA course opened
my eyes to the importance of creating buildings that
consume less energy from the environment.
The TAFE SA course has put me at the front of the pack
in understanding the ways properties can be designed
to consume less energy.

Computer Generated Imaging & Visual Effects Stream (CGI & VFX)
This stream is for students that want to excel in the field of visual effects and
3D computer animation for television and cinema. It is essentially two courses
rolled into one: TV production and 3D computer animation (incorporating
Visual Effects). Students are taught the practical and theoretical aspects
of the movie and television making process so that they understand where
computer-generated imagery fits in the workflow of a production. With a
hands-on practical approach by our passionate teaching staff, students get to
use industry-standard 2D and 3D software and broadcast-standard hardware.
Campus: Adelaide City Arts (AC Arts)
For students interested in Game Art you will need to consider the Diploma of
Digital & Interactive Games together with the Advanced Diploma of Screen
& Media (Game Art Stream). As a game art student you will learn the skills
required of artists in game development. Game artists are chiefly modellers
and texturers but also have a broad knowledge of the game development
process. This course puts particular emphasis on modelling, texturing,
concept development and drawing. Students develop skills and knowledge
in these key areas as well as project management, team work, simulations
industry and a variety of delivery platforms.

“
I decided to look into studying abroad and found that
the TAFE SA accounting course not only offered great value
for money but would provide me with the knowledge and
skills that employers want. My lecturers are fantastic and
always go that extra mile to help all their students and make
learning and understanding accounting inspiring. I believe
the qualifications that I will gain studying in Australia will open
up many doors for me allowing me to work in my chosen
field throughout the world.

“
Prior to enrolling at TAFE SA I completed a Bachelor
of Arts majoring in International Studies. I realised that the
Marketing Course at TAFE SA would value-add to my degree.
The course was more practical, business-oriented rather
than a pure intellectual exercise. Six months into my course
I secured work at a local Adelaide business.

I really like TAFE SA because the courses

more job focused. Most courses also include
an on-the-job work placement component,
which ensures that students gain the practical
