Advanced Standing Applications

Students may obtain advanced standing for courses completed at the University of Adelaide or within a degree of another tertiary institution accepted by the Faculty of Professions for the purpose of being equivalent. Advanced Standing/Course substitution may be granted to a maximum of 12 units. Courses for which advanced standing is sought should have been completed within the last 5 years (or 10 years if the student has been employed in the area of study).

Students with a bachelor degree from an overseas institution will be required to undertake the relevant foundation courses along with the required number of specialisation courses in their desired discipline stream. Course substitution may be granted to students that have completed bachelor courses accepted by the Faculty of Professions as equivalent to the courses required as part of their degree. Advanced standing can be granted for students that fall under relevant offshore arrangements as well as to students that completed courses within a Masters program at an overseas institution.

An application for advanced standing/course substitution, on the grounds of work completed at another tertiary institution, will be considered only if accompanied by a certified copy of the student’s complete academic record (original or certified copy), copies of the syllabus, assessment and textbook details of the relevant courses and details of the structure of the degree program previously studied. "Application For Advance Standing" forms are available from, and should be lodged with, the Postgraduate Resource Centre.
