's Toorak Campus. At the time it was recognised to provide access to post secondary education for both Australian and international students who did not qualify for direct entry into university, but who, in the right circumstances, had the capacity and motivation to complete a degree program. The college allows students to complete their studies more flexibly, for example if they wish to fast track (eight months) their course rather than do a regular university length course (12 months). The college is now established geographically at the Deakin Campus Burwood in Building LA and the Geelong Campuses at Waurn Ponds in Building KA and waterfront in the Denny Laselles Building.
