Please note that in the UK Level 3 course units are intended primarily for students who have specialized in that subject area for at least two years. Most students taking Level 3 course units in the UK will have completed at least 200 UK credits in this subject area. Study abroad/exchange students will need to demonstrate an equivalent background to be eligible to study Level 3 course units.

Most subject areas do allow an alternative assessment to students studying on exchange for Semester 1 who need to return to NUS for Semester 2 before Manchester’s semester ends.  A list of these subject areas that allow alternative assessments can be found through the Course Information link.

Students are informed to have 50 to 60 Manchester credits per semester.

Please check with SEP Administrator in the Dean’s Office for actual application dates for your faculty.
