Can I apply for credit exemptions?
The University of Wollongong offers credit exemptions (also known as advanced standings or credit transfers) to students who have completed relevant, recognised tertiary studies at another institution.
Credit exemptions are typically awarded to students who have completed a diploma or part of a Bachelor degree. Subject relevancy and a credit average (65%) are required for maximum exemption in many courses.
UOW has formal credit exemption arrangements with many overseas institutions, allowing students to reduce the normal course duration by one or two years of study.
UOW currently recognises courses undertaken at specified institutions in:
| Bangladesh | France | Japan | Pakistan |
| Canada | Hong Kong | Kenya | Singapore |
| China (PRC) | India | Korea, Republic of | Sri Lanka |
| Colombia | Indonesia | Malaysia | Thailand |
Credit transfer is also available for a range of courses offered by TAFE institutions in Australia.
