The course list is split in to two parts:

  • Courses from List 1:These courses are pre-approved by USC, you do not need to seek approval from USC for enrolment in these courses
  • Courses from List 2: Where a course has a pre-requisite USC will check that you have completed the required prior studies to complete the course successfully. These courses need to be included in your application form for assessment

If you require credit transfer you must seek approval of your course choices by your home institution.
