Vocationally oriented bachelor’s courses can be developed, especially when the developers focus on scholarly rigour while paying due heed to jurisdictional requirements as well as the needs of key stakeholders.
Research limitations/implications
This case study is limited to a specialist vocational college in Australia.
Practical implications
The paper provides a framework by which others can develop vocationally oriented bachelor’s degrees.
