Go Global Course Exchange List

The tables in the bottom part of this Web page show the correspondence between selected Computer Science courses at several international universities and UBC.  This Web page only shows some of the courses that would transfer.  Many more courses and schools are available; the ones below are just examples.  Please note that courses periodically change their learning goals, so course mappings may change over time.  It often helps to get a detailed course outline from the other institution before committing to taking that course.

Make an appointment with a CPSC advisor if you would like to take a course that is not listed here, and you want to know if it will transfer.  Note that "CPSC 3rd (3)" in a table below simply means that the course transfers to UBC as a general, third-year CPSC course that's worth three credits.  Thus, if you are a UBC student, you can use this transfer as if it were a third-year UBC CPSC course (it just doesn't map to a specific CPSC course of ours, but it is of acceptable quality, and therefore qualifies for Go Global transfer credit).

Note that different schools have different credit formulas.  UBC tries to be fair by giving the equivalent number of UBC credits.  For example, a University of Melbourne introductory AI course might be worth 3.75 credits at UBC, which may mean that you will get 3 credits for CPSC 322 transfer, plus 1 extra CPSC 3rd credit (rounded up).  However, three 3.75-credit courses would round to 11 UBC credits (not 12).  See the Go Global Web site for more information about "Transfer Credit Equivalency Formulas".  Similarly, a University of Nottingham course might transfer as 2.5 UBC credits, which we'll round to 3 in most cases -- or, if you take two 2.5-credit courses, you'll wind up with 5 UBC credits.
