Articulation: Pathways for the Future

This paper considers the phenomenon of articulation by students of surveying through the post-secondary education system in Australia. It will look at the processes planned, or in place, which enable students to progress from Technical and Further Education (TAFE) programs into professional degree programs, and thence on to postgraduate education. As well as reviewing the status of articulation, the paper looks in detail at the articulation procedure which has been developed at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. To conclude, the paper considers articulation in the context of the many changes currently taking place in education in Australia.
