Semester 1 courses (February-June)

At the time of submitting your Study Abroad application, we ask you to submit the courses you would like to study at USC chosen from the below course lists.

The course list is split in to two parts:

  • Courses from List 1: These courses are pre-approved by USC, you do not need to seek approval from USC for enrolment in these courses
  • Courses from List 2: Where a course has a pre-requisite USC will check that you have completed the required prior studies to complete the course successfully. These courses need to be included in your application form for assessment. You must seek approval from USC International to enrol in any of these courses. Course offerings are subject to change.

If you require credit transfer you must seek approval of your course choices by your home institution.
Note: Current course lists are subject to change depending on course availability.
