Gather Course Profiles

After you have been allocated a host university, you will be required to provide supporting documents, including the host course profiles.

A course profile gives you the key information about a course. At UQ, It outlines the course aims and learning objectives, required textbooks, assessment criteria and due dates, and other important information.

Course profiles required in a global experience application are those from the host organisation. Course profiles can look very different depending on the host university.

IMPORTANT: Do not contact the host university directly until after the Internships and Global Experiences Team has allocated you a Host University and given you permission to contact the host.

When to gather course profiles

Students are required to provide full host university course profiles when:

you are seeking compulsory or discipline elective credit and there is no credit precedent.
you are seeking compulsory or discipline elective credit and the credit precedent has expired or will expire before the end of your planned exchange semester.
you are seeking general elective credit, but the discipline of the host course matches disciplines within your UQ program.

If all the courses on your study plan have a Credit Precedent Database ID, upload a Word document stating this fact in the required field (Course Profiles upload) in the Document submission form.

If any of your host university course profiles are in a language other than English, you will need to provide a translation of each course profile in your submission.

Required information

Submission format

Course profiles should remain in their original format as much as possible, either:

original PDF downloaded from host webpage, or
a “print to PDF” version of the webpage information.
(See instructions on how to print to PDF)

If the course profiles are in a language other than English, an English translation must be included with the original for ease of assessment.

When submitting your supporting documents, individual course profiles should be uploaded in one .zip file.
