Credit recognition

Credit recognition is considered in accordance with the University’s Credit Recognition Policy.

You may be eligible for credit recognition (CR) based on your previous postgraduate award study. Subjects undertaken as part of an undergraduate degree, irrespective of their level of study, will not be normally considered for CR.

In order to have your CR considered, you need to provide the following documents to the Student Centre at your first enrolment:

• originals of tertiary study transcripts (results notice) as well as certified copies of these documents (copies can also be made at the Student Centre); and
• supporting documentation such as subject outlines of completed courses and/or subjects; and
• a completed Credit Recogntion Form.

Students who have completed postgraduate subjects as part of a postgraduate degree may be eligible for CR of up to 6 credit points (one subject) towards a UTS Engineering Graduate Certificate, and up to 12 credit points (two subjects) towards an engineering master's degree.

Students who have previously completed subjects at UTS that are part of the postgraduate degree to which they are admitted, may be eligible for CR of up to 18 credit points (three subjects) towards an engineering masters’ degree.

Students who have previously completed subjects as part of a UTS Engineering Graduate Certificate may be eligible for CR of up to 24 credit points (four subjects) towards equivalent subjects in an engineering master's degree.

CR for coursework studies is not granted for work experience.
