What is a polytechnic?
A Polytechnic is a tertiary institution offering courses in vocational and technical subjects.
Polytechnics offer professional, career-focused programs in the arts, social and related behavioural sciences, engineering, education, and natural sciences and technology, that engage students in applied learning, theory and research.
What is the difference between a Polytechnic and a University?
The differences between polytechnics and universities have varied over the years. Historically the main difference was that universities focused on academic programs and polytechnics focused on practical, vocational training.
Recently, both types of institutions have expanded their range of courses and there is significant overlap between universities and polytechnics, with many polytechnic courses providing pathways directly to degree programs.
