What is Credit Equivalence?
Credits are the points you receive for completing units at University. At Swinburne, one unit is typically worth 12.5 credit points and a full-time load for one semester is either three units (37.5 credits) or 4 units (50 credits).

Our Partner Universities around the globe have varying credit systems and its important to ensure that you are doing the right amount of credits while studying at a Partner University. For this reason, this page has been designed as a guide to assist when completing a proposed study plan.

Since students are required to study a full-time load on Semester Exchange, they can choose to do either 3 or 4 of their Swinburne units overseas.

If you intend on studying 3 units on Semester Exchange, then you must study a Partner Universities equivalent of 37.5 credit points and if you intend on taking 4 units, you must study the equivalent of 50 credit points.
