This page provides information on how to select courses for your semester study abroad in Australia. Please start by reading the Important Notes, and then select your specific program for further instructions.
Australia Course Selection
Important Notes
Read this first
- For students that have already applied, the courses you pick at this stage are for pre-approval. You will not enroll in courses until much closer to departure (typically 1-2 months before classes start). You will receive enrollment instructions when you get to that stage.
- ALWAYS choose at least 6-8 courses in order to have enough to select from in the event you do not fulfill pre-requisites or that courses overlap on the timetable.
- Make sure to review your course selections with your academic advisor in order to ensure that your credits will transfer back to your home university.
About the Courses
- In Australia, “courses” typically refer to degree programs, while “units” or “subjects” refer to classes.
- Courses are not set in stone. You will be able to make changes to your initial list throughout the enrollment process.
- Although courses do not change tremendously from year-to-year, please be aware that you may need to make additional selections once units are officially published, past when courses are submitted.
- Typical course load: 3-4 courses (12-16 US credits)
- Each Australian university uses a different credit point system, which may differ from the US system of 3-4 credits per standard course. For example, each standard course at the University of Sydney is listed as “6” credit points. This will be converted to US credits by your home university. TEAN recommends that each course worth the standard number of credits at the host university transfers back as 4 US credits. Ultimately, your home university will decide how many credits are transferred back, so you will want to confirm with your study abroad office whether you will receive 3 or 4 US credits per course.
Course Level
Generally when you view courses you’ll see them organized by 1000-4000 levels, however this can vary depending on the university.
- 1000-level course is the equivalent of a 200-level/sophomore level US course.
- 2000-level course is the equivalent of a 300-level/junior level US course.
- 3000-level course is the equivalent of a 400-level/senior level US course. (Note: These courses require a high level of competency and you will most likely need to fulfill numerous pre-requisites.)
- 4000-level + courses are graduate level and for the most part, are not open to study abroad students.
How to submit Your courses to TEAN
- Meet with an advisor at your home university to make sure your courses are approved.
- Email your TEAN Program Manager if you require any syllabi for pre-approval.
- Submit the TEAN Course Selection form on your TEAN portal.
-
- Course Name: Full course title
- Course Code: Abbreviated subject and number (i.e. ECON1002)
- University: The host university you will attend
- Period of Study: The term in which you are studying abroad
- Credit Points: The number of host university credits the course is worth
- Comments: You can use this space to make any notes for yourself (such as the requirement the course fulfills at your home institution) or put “N/A.”

How to find Courses
- Visit the QUT online handbook.
- You may select “Explore all units” to search through the entire handbook, browse QUT’s pre-selected “Professional experience and study packages”, or look at all the units in a particular study area grouped together.
- Under “All available units” select “Explore all units.”
- In the “All study abroad and exchange units” section, filter by:
- Study level: Undergraduate
- Approval: Some courses have been pre-approved for study abroad students, while some require additional approval from QUT. You may select courses from either option and submit to TEAN as normal. QUT will review your selections later in the process.
- Semester: Choose the semester corresponding with the month you start your program (Semester 1 is Feb-June; Semester 2 is July-Nov)
- Sometimes individual courses haven’t been updated for your semester yet. If the course was offered the previous year (i.e. was offered Semester 1, 2023 and you are looking for Semester 1, 2024 courses) it will likely be offered again.
- You may also filter by School/discipline and/or search for Keywords.
- Click on “View the full unit outline for …” to see the description of the unit (another word for course). Under the “Guide to previous study requirements” tab ensure you meet any prerequisite requirements, and that the unit is not restricted.
- Once you identify 6-8 courses that match your criteria, enter them into your TEAN application under “TEAN Course Selection”.
HOW TO FIND COURSE SYLLABI
- After selecting a unit (another word for course), on the unit’s page, scroll down to “unit outlines.”
- The unit outlines are the course syllabi. You will use the unit outlines as your syllabi in the course approval process at your home university.

RMIT University
How to find Courses
- First, read through the “How to search for courses” page. Key takeaways below:
- Recommended vs. Restricted Courses: Courses labeled as “recommended” will be quickly approved for enrollment by RMIT faculty. Courses labeled as “restricted” will require an additional approval process, and you may be denied approval if you do not meet the prerequisite requirements (these can include prerequisite courses, the subject you major in, class standing, etc.). You will want to read the course description carefully and ensure that your transcript reflects the background needed for the course.
- Portfolio Requirements: Design courses (VART, GRAP, ARCH courses) require a portfolio to be submitted, to be reviewed by RMIT faculty before approval is granted. If you select any courses that require a portfolio, you will need to email your TEAN Program Manager a PDF or link that includes 10-15 pieces of original work related to the course.
- Computer Science and IT Requirements: If you select courses in Computer Science and IT, please complete this form and email it to your TEAN Program Manager.
- Credit Points: A standard RMIT course is worth 12 credit points. If a course is worth 24 credit points, it will have the courseload of 2 courses, so be aware when selecting. You may not choose any course that is individually worth 36 or 48 credit points.
- Vocational Courses: These courses are on a different calendar, and you will not be able to enroll in them.
- Location: TEAN students can take courses at the City Campus and the Brunswick Campus. Please note the Brunswick campus is approximately 20 minutes via public transportation from the city.
- Then, find course names and codes using the Course Search tool for study abroad students.
- Filter by level of study (undergraduate) and the semester you are attending (Semester 1 is Feb – June; Semester 2 is July – Nov).
- Either search by keyword by typing in part of a course name at the top, or filter by the RMIT School to see every option in that study area.
- After you press Search and are looking at your course options, take note of the comments section to see if it is Recommended or Restricted, and any other potential requirements.
- Next, find course descriptions using the Course Guide.
- When you see a course name that is of interest, copy the course code (i.e. MKTG1041) and paste it into the Course Guide. Press Search.
- The overview information (campus, career, school, etc.) will be in a table at the top. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the Course Description.
- Be sure to read the “Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities” section. Ensure you have the proper background to take the course.
- Once you identify 6-8 courses that match your criteria, enter them into your TEAN portal under “TEAN Course Selection”.

University of New South Wales
Important course info
Course Load
- UNSW students enroll in 3 courses as a standard course load (compared to 4 as the standard at other Australian universities), due to the condensed calendar. You MUST confirm with your home institution that each UNSW course will transfer back as 4 U.S. credits, totaling a full-time course load of 12 U.S. credits.
- You may not enroll in fewer than 3 courses, as a requirement of the student visa.
- Students who receive 3 U.S. credits per course should contact their program manager to discuss options. You may be eligible to arrive a month early to take one additional course intensively before the standard 3-course term begins.
Course Approval and Enrollment Process
- Follow the instructions in the How to Find Courses section below to find 6-8 course options and submit them in your TEAN portal.
-
- Submitting at least 6 course options ensures you have several backup courses approved if needed.
-
- Work with your home institution advisors to get the courses approved.
-
- This can take several weeks, so you can submit your courses to TEAN before they are fully approved, and then let your program manager know if any changes need to be made after speaking with your home institution.
-
- TEAN will send your course selections to UNSW for faculty approval when we submit your application.
-
- We will send you an email when we get to this step.
-
- UNSW faculty will review your course selections for approval.
-
- This can take up to 6 weeks. You will receive email updates from UNSW.
-
- UNSW will email you with enrollment instruction approximately 1-2 months prior to departure. You will follow their steps to set up your UNSW portal and enroll yourself in courses.
Course Selection Tips
- Do not solely consult any list of approved courses you may have from your home university, friends who have attended the program, etc. as these lists are very likely outdated and inaccurate.
-
- You must look online at the UNSW Handbook following our instructions below. You can then use any list you have as a secondary filter for course selection.
-
- Since course approvals can take several weeks, you’ll want to ensure that you select carefully and start the approval process with your home institution as early as possible. This will set you up for success when enrollment opens closer to departure.
-
- If you find more courses you are interested in after submitting the Course Selection form, you can email your program manager, who will send them to UNSW, but again, please expect that the approval could take several weeks if there are prerequisites.
-
Restricted Subject Areas
- Course codes that begin with DP, Y, or Z.
-
- These subject areas are not available to study abroad students.
-
- MDIA, LAWS, MSCI, PPEC, OPTM, HESC, NEUR, BIOM, and COMP
-
- Some courses in these subject areas are open to study abroad students, but it can be very challenging for study abroad students to enroll in them because seats are often held for full-degree students majoring in that subject area. If you select any courses in these subject areas, please make sure you have an equal number of backup courses.
-
HOW TO FIND COURSES
- Visit the UNSW Handbook.
- Click on the “Course” tab along the top.
- On the left side, apply the following filters:
-
- Study Level: Undergraduate
- Year: The year you are studying abroad, or the most recent available
- Offering Periods: See below for your relevant Term.
-
- Spring (February – May): Term 1
- Fall (September – December): Term 3
- NOTE: You MUST ensure the courses you select are offered during the term you will be abroad. Otherwise, they will not be available and we will ask you to redo the form.
-
- Subject Area: If desired, narrow search by specific subject areas.
- Delivery Mode: In-person and Multimodal
-
- The student visa allows a maximum of one Fully Online course, if your home institution approves you taking an online course. We recommend avoiding any Fully Online courses, but if you do choose one, be sure to get it approved by your home institution.
- Multimodal courses have in-person and online components, and do not affect the student visa. You may select these courses, although some students prefer to take only fully In-Person courses.
-
- General Education: This is optional, but if you are looking for elective courses that have no prerequisites, you can select this to help narrow your search.
-
- Use the search bar at the top to narrow the search by keyword.
- Below the course code and title, you will see where the course is offered.
-
- The main campus is Sydney (Kensington). Many Art courses are offered on the Paddington campus. You are permitted to take courses at either campus (Paddington is located just a few stops away on the free campus shuttle bus).
- Do not select courses at the Canberra campus as it is 3 hours from Sydney.
-
- Click on a course to view more details and confirm where it’s offered and during which term.
-
- If the course has any prerequisites, there will be a Conditions for Enrolment section. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the prerequisite requirements before submitting your course list. UNSW faculty will review your transcript to see if you have taken similar prerequisite courses at your home institution.
- You may select course codes within the 1000-3999 range (4000 and above is honors/postgraduate).
-
- To find syllabi, go to the Course Outline Finder and type in the course code or title. If you don’t find the course there, search for it in the Course Outline Archive. Use the most recent outline you can find (the outline for your term won’t be available until the term starts).
- Another way to browse courses by subject area is to go to the Timetable.
-
- At the top right, click “By Teaching Period”.
- You’ll see a section for each campus, and within each section you’ll see an Undergraduate column.
- Find your term: Teaching Period One (Feb-May) OR Teaching Period Three (Sept-Dec)
- Do not select the options with A, B, or C next to them.
- Select a subject area to see a list of all available courses within that subject area during the term you are studying abroad.
- To view the course description, copy and paste the course code or course title into the Handbook.
-
- Once you identify at least 6-8 courses that match your criteria (so you can get enough backup courses pre-approved before the enrollment process closer to departure), enter them into your TEAN portal in the “TEAN Course Selection” form.
-
- We will not accept forms that have:
- Fewer than 6 courses listed.
- Courses that are not available during your correct Term/Teaching Period.
- Course codes that begin with DP, Y, or Z.
- We will not accept forms that have:
