What is Non-Award and Cross-Institutional Study?
Non-Award Voluntary study allows students to apply for up to 24 units of credit worth of courses that do not lead to an award. It can be used to update professional knowledge for career purposes or purely out of personal interest in a specific field.
Cross-Institutional study is aimed at students who are currently enrolled in a degree at another Australian institution and would like to study courses at UNSW that may not be on offer at their home institution, but are still related to their degree. The units of credit undertaken at UNSW will be applied to the student’s degree at their home institution.
