Application Process
Approval for credit transfer is at the discretion of your Faculty. Credit approval can only be given prior to the commencement of a Learning Abroad program - no retrospective requests will be accepted.
Completion of an approved Short Course typically will lead to the awarding of 6 or 12 Free Elective Units of Credit, or where applicable, 6 or 12 General Education Units of Credit toward your UNSW program.
Please note: The objective of Learning Abroad Short Programs is to grant students an opportunity to learn in an international environment. Due to this, students are not eligible to receive Credit at UNSW for Short Programs undertaken in their country of permanent residence (home country).
