Can I apply for credit from my previous study?

Students beginning a course (GradCertPM, GradDipPM, MPM) may be eligible for credits for prior learning. We recommend that you use your (Personal Development Plan) to help write your application.

Rules:

• You must have been accepted into a course (GradCertPM, GradDipPM or MPM).
• Your application must be received by the PMGP Admin Office before the end of your first semester.
• Credits are only granted for up to two Units of Study at the Graduate Certificate level except under exceptional circumstances where credit may be granted at Diploma level.
• Credits are not granted for any other core course unit but PMGT6867. (If applicable, the other credits may be granted against an Elective.)
• Units of Study (UoS) without accepted methods of assessment cannot be considered.
• The institution where your study was undertaken must be recognised by The University of Sydney.
• The study must have been completed no more than 10 years ago.
• Undergraduate UoS are not considered.
• An applicant not holding a recognised Bachelor degree, who uses his or her professional experience or qualifications as a basis for entry into the GradCert, cannot use the same experience or qualifications as the reason for applying for Credits.
• In the case of equivalent UoS undertaken as part of a recognised postgraduate award course, the weight (expressed in credit points) must be equivalent to, or greater than, that of its equivalent UoS in the PMGP.
• In the case of the point immediately above, there must be at least a 75% or greater rate of commonality between the content and structure of the courses.
• The PMGP and The University of Sydney may, at its discretion, call upon an applicant to attend an interview before a University of Sydney panel and/or require the applicant to sit an examination.
