What is SIBT?

Sydney Institute of Business and Technology (SIBT) offers a direct pathway to a university degree.  With flexible entry criteria students can complete a SIBT diploma, and then progress into second year studies of a university bachelor degree.

SIBT, which has been in operation since 1997, is part of the global Navitas Group (an internationally recognised education provider). As a tertiary college working in collaboration with other partner universities, SIBT eases the transition from high school to university level studies.
