EFTSU Credit system
Australia has the EFTSU system which, whilst providing a common measure of student workload applying across Australian universities, doesn’t specify the workload in terms of learning outcomes and competencies. The lack of an accepted uniform national system of credits in Australia is a significant impediment to mobility – universities’ different arrangements often mean that individual judgements have to be made for each student seeking credit for study completed.
It is possible that EFTSU calculations could be translated into the ECTS on the basis that 1 EFTSU = 60 ECTS credits. Moreover, Australian universities have experience with the use of the University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP) credit transfer system which is modelled on the ECTS.
