Carrick and Hunter TAFE create joint venture
Carrick Higher Education Pty Ltd and Carrick Institute of Education signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Hunter TAFE, New South Wales yesterday enabling students to
cross credit their studies between the two institutes.
For the institutes, the MOU is a collaboration of the public and private education sector that
stands to enhance the provision of quality accredited Vocational Education and Training (VET)
and Higher Education.
From today students of Hunter TAFE will be able to articulate into the Carrick degree,
Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management). Hunter TAFE students who
have completed an Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management can obtain advanced
standings to complete the Bachelor of Business in nine months.
The articulation is open to both domestic and international students.
The MOU has been in the pipeline since November 2008 under the direction of Sanjeev
Singh, Executive Director of Campus Operations of Carrick. Mr Singh states that the joint
venture with Hunter TAFE means Carrick will be across any significant industry developments
both in the public and private sector, reinforcing Carrick’s commitment to quality education
and training.
Talks are currently in progress with the Academic teams of Carrick and Hunter TAFE to also
develop a joint program that combines hospitality, tourism and events units. Carrick and
Hunter TAFE will deliver the new course together.
The joint venture is the first of its kind for Carrick and an exciting prospect for students. It
means students will have greater scope in their qualification including the opportunity to study
viticulture and wine making.
