Special arrangements

Under certain circumstances, some students may need to vary the subjects of study prescribed by their major in the International Studies program.

Foreseeable reasons for such variation are:

• the level of language proficiency does not permit further study at UTS, and
• there are individual and particular difficulties in undertaking a period of In-country Study.

In these and other exceptional circumstances, special arrangements can be made to cater for individual needs. Students should notify the Institute in writing, at the earliest time possible, of these circumstances.

Under such circumstances, students are required to study one or more subjects from the list of approved alternative subjects to the equivalent value of credit points.

For any amendment to the course of study prescribed in the International Studies program, students need approval from the Board of Studies of the Institute for International Studies.
