Credit Transfer

Guidelines on Credit Transfer

Granting of credit transfer is mainly based on the subject contents and the learning outcomes attained. The subject contents attained should be at least 75% similar to the PolyU subjects of a similar level, credits and contact hours.

The subject grade/mark achieved should be C / 65% or above.

Entry Credit Transfer

For students admitted from 2022/23 onwards, students holding A-Level or IB qualifications may be given credit transfer upon their admission to the 4-year full-time undergraduate degree schemes / programmes. Normally, they will be given credit transfer from 9 credits (including 6 credits for the broadening subjects and 3 credits for University English under the Language & Communication Requirements) to a maximum of 25% of the award requirements, depending on their previous study and grade attainments. For students admitted in 2021/22 or before, students holding A-Level or IB qualifications may be given credit transfer upon their admission to the 4-year full-time undergraduate degree programmes. Normally, they will be given credit transfer from 12 credits (including 6 credits for the broadening subjects, 3 credits for the Freshman Seminar and 3 credits for University English under the Language & Communication Requirements) to a maximum of 25% of the award requirements, depending on their previous study and grade attainments.

Entry credit transfer of Discipline-Specific Requirements (DSR) credits may be given to the graduates of Higher Diploma or Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
