<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"">I wanted to seek clarification from my colleagues with regards to other universities acceptance of the two unit offered at Swinburne. I was told that it was up to
each university to make the judgment as to whether they would recognize the subjects undertaken. This year, there were 3 students who undertook the program in its first year of delivery to VCE students, and if they choose to study at Swinburne next year, then
they will get two subject credits if they undertake one of the courses listed in the web page. Having said this, this does not imply explicitly that there is agreement about the curriculum amongst the universities.</span>
