Credit Transfer
Overview
There are many ways to satisfy the academic entry requirements for a Bachelor degree at UOW. Careful selection and successful completion of an appropriate program may not only satisfy entry requirements, some may contribute towards credit or exemption in the UOW program you intend to apply for. The recognition for some of the more common TAFE NSW qualifications is available here.
The type and amount of credit transfer granted depends on the TAFE program and subjects completed, together with the program rules and structure of the UOW degree. If applicable, two types of credit transfer can be granted:
- Specified credit – which is granted when an exact or near exact equivalence to a UOW course can be demonstrated.
- Unspecified credit – which is granted when an exact or near exact equivalence cannot be demonstrated. Unspecified credit is also granted for elective courses.
In highly prescribed courses it may not be possible to use all unspecified credit.
The credit transfer outlined on the following Faculty pages is to be used as a guide only. Final confirmation of advanced standing is given by the Sub-Dean (or their designee) of each Faculty at enrolment.
PLEASE NOTE: Credit transfer and recognition of prior learning does not guarantee a place into a degree at the University of Wollongong. Applicants who achieve an appropriate score in a relevant qualification may be considered for admission. Admission is dependent on the completion of an appropriate qualification, the level of academic performance achieved and the number of places available.
If you have studied a program which is not listed in this database you may still be eligible for credit. Please contact UniAdvice for further information.
