Overview
Established in 1997, the Sydney Institute of Business and Technology (SIBT) offers a direct pathway to a university degree. Flexible entry requirements, a personalised academic environment, and a range of support services ensure that every student can carve their path in tertiary studies by completing SIBT’s foundation and diploma programmes.
SIBT’s diplomas in business, communication and creative industries, engineering, and IT can be completed in eight to 12 months, after which students can progress straight into their second-year studies at Western Sydney University. Catering to individual students’ requirements, SIBT’s diplomas can be used to upskill to either meet the academic requirements for university entry or to kickstart a new career.
The institute’s Foundation Program acts as a bridge between high school and tertiary studies. Students can improve their knowledge in core subject areas and practice academic study skills that can help them succeed in university.
Over 27,000 students have utilised SIBT’s pathway programmes to prepare for university success, and have demonstrated strong achievements in key fields like business and communication.

Accommodation
Studying in Sydney’s city centre means that SIBT students can choose from a variety of accommodation options to suit their individual lifestyle and budget. Students can find housing in the centre of the city, in its multicultural inner suburbs, or in the coastal suburbs of east or north Sydney.
Purpose-built student housing provides fully furnished, single or shared rooms, with en-suite bathrooms and kitchenettes, onsite security, student support, common rooms, and occasionally extra facilities such as a pool. Since students can share these houses with peers, they’re generally affordable and offer flexibility. If students wish to immerse themselves in Australian culture and practice their English language skills, they can opt to homestay with a local Sydney family.
