At Maribyrnong College we offer two main pathways for our Senior School students. Both pathways result in a VCE certificate at the end of Year 12.  

The Academic Pathway is the best option for students who know they want to go straight to university when they finish school. Over the two years students work towards a VCE certificate and an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) that will allow them to apply directly to selective university courses.

The Applied Pathway is the best option for students who have clear career goals and do not wish to go to university straight after they finish school. Instead they may be considering Diplomas, Apprenticeships, Traineeships or direct employment. Students on the Applied Pathway still receive a VCE Certificate. 

Our student handbooks provide further detail on both pathways and outline the full range of VCE subjects offered.
