Pathways to Bachelor of Business (Supply Chain Management), Victoria University logo, New Way to Do Uni
Chenali
Hello everyone, welcome to The Bachelor of Business majoring in Supply Chain and Logistics Management Pathways session. My name is Chenali, and I'm a Future Students Advisor at Victoria University. In this webinar, we will be talking to you about possible pathway options from Victoria University Polytechnic to Victoria University for this course. And joining us is Diana Rector, Pathways Coordinator for admissions, Paul's Zarebski, lecturer and course chair for Bachelor of Business and Scott Murray, Manager Pathways and Retention at Victoria University.
Before we start, I would like to acknowledge my country and pay my respects to the custodians of the land we live, work and study on today. And I would also like to pay my respects to the elders, past, present and emerging.
So as a student who's completing or already completed a programme at VU Polytechnic, why transfer to university? There's a few reasons you would have an easier transition from University to TAFE, where you can enhance and expand your scope of knowledge. You also have a wider range of career options, and you would be able to get your degree in a shorter period of time, as you will be granted credits for your previous study. Which also means you will finish off with two qualifications. And most importantly, you'll be able to study in our award winning Block Model. Talking a bit about our Block Model, I'll play the short video which explains everything about it in just 60 seconds.

We've been teaching the same way for hundreds of years now, but the world around us has changed and along with it employer and industry needs. So at VU we change the way you learn with our Australian first Block Model. Traditionally, you juggle the demands and deadlines of four units at once, instead, the VU Block Model has you focus on one unit at a time. Each year will be broken into two semesters, each semester will be broken into four Blocks which run for four weeks. You focus on one unit in each Block, completing all your assessments before moving on to the next. So instead of this, VU's Block Model looks like this. The Block Model offers you flexible study options, support from one teacher per unit and practical hands-on teaching methods that prepare you for your future. So when you study at VU you know you'll gain the support and skills you need to succeed.

Australian First
The only Australian University delivering undergraduate degrees using a block model of teaching.
1 Subject at a time, 86.5% pass rate, 40% distinction or above, under 35 students in class, results within 3 days
Chenali
As you can see, it's a highly effective model. And we are the first university in Australia to deliver our undergraduate programmes entirely in the Block Model. As you study one subject at a time, it has resulted in a higher pass rate, and over 40% of our students have received a distinction or above. Furthermore, there's under 35 students in a classroom at any given time, which means you have a more personalised learning experience. And results generally come within three business days, which means you can get to the next Block without any delays. I would now like to hand over to Diana to talk to you about the admissions process and pathways.

Thanks Chenali, IF you’re currently studying the Diploma of Logistics, you have a guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Business as a pathway student. You will also note that this pathway also grants 96 credit points into the bachelor, allowing you to go straight into second year, which means it's reduced the amount of units and credit points required to complete the course.
So what is a conditional offer? A pathway conditional offer means you have a guaranteed place into the Bachelor of Business upon successfully completing your diploma and meeting any additional entry requirements that may be required for the Bachelor. New conditional offers currently go out twice a year in approximately May and October. At the same time as new offers are sent, we also send acknowledgement emails to those that have previously accepted their pathway conditional offer. These emails are sent to your student email account. Information regarding next step in the pathway process are also provided in both emails. When you receive a new conditional offer, you must accept this via the link within the email to indicate you would like to progress into higher education. Once the offer is accepted, we monitor your successful completion in the diploma as well as validate any additional entry requirements that may be required for the Bachelor. I'm now gonna talk a little bit about the full offer process.
Once successful completion in the deployment is confirmed, we will process your offer as well as the eligible events standing. From there you will be sent your "Enrol Now" email with your full offer into the bachelor for the next available admissions intake. To enrol into the bachelor, you need to simply follow the prompts within the email, log into your MyVU portal, accept the full offer and enrol into available units. Please be aware that students receive pathway full offers at different stages, as successful completion is confirmed in the diploma. And pathway full offers are made right up until classes commence for each intake period. If you're worried about your conditional or full pathway offer, or have any questions about pathway processes, please email pathways and we'll be happy to assist you further, thanks Chenali.

Thanks Chenali, hello everyone. Have you ever ordered something online and wondered exactly what it takes to get it to you?
Well, this Bachelor of Business in supply chain logistics is for people who enjoy the process of seeing something created from scratch right through to final delivery.
Now that process involves sourcing and purchasing materials, inventory control, storage, warehousing and shipment. Now as for employment, professional recognition is offered by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. So once you graduate and get a job in this area, you can work in many many different areas. For example, warehouse management, inventory control and procurement. Now as far as internships are concerned, there are many possibilities for placement in leading companies.
You can choose work integrated learning or business integrated learning to get workplace experience and a big advantage after graduation. Thanks Chenali.
