How to choose your courses

• Read the 'Important Information' regarding choosing courses and relevant levels
• There are two main course choice lists:
  • Semester 1
  • Semester 2
• Choose the relevant semester and review each course to see which are of interest to you
• Nominate the 3 or 4 courses* that you wish to undertake via the Study Abroad application form

* The standard course load for this program is 3 or 4 courses (36 or 48 units). We recommend you choose more courses at the point of application, to be prepared for possible timetable clashes.

Study Abroad course approval

Requesting course approval from USC is easy! When we receive your complete application with your nominated courses, we will assess your eligibility and let you know by email which courses have been approved.

Remember, any course that is on the pre-approval list has already been approved by USC and you do not require further approval from us prior to enrolment.

For students applying via their home institution

If you are currently enrolled at a tertiary institution, you need to check with your home institution about the possibility of credit transfer for courses studied at USC.

Choose your courses and have them approved by USC and your home institution before you arrive.
