Has anyone transferred from UTS Business to USYD/UNSW Commerce with around 76 WAM?
Hi everyone,
I’m an international student at UTS studying Bachelor of Business. I applied to transfer to USYD Bachelor of Commerce for Semester 2, 2026.
I’ve completed 48cp at UTS with a WAM of 76.50. I originally received a conditional offer from USYD, but my agent told me that USYD may have assessed my previous tertiary studies as not meeting the required GPA/WAM standard for BCom.
I’m a bit confused because I’ve heard that a 75+ WAM can be competitive for transfer, but I understand this may depend on the course, intake, availability, and whether the applicant is domestic/international or internal/external.
Before studying at UTS, I also completed a Bachelor of Business Administration through Korea’s Academic Credit Bank System, with 154 credits completed and an overall score of 85.77/100. I’m not sure how much weight USYD gives to this compared with my UTS results.
Has anyone transferred externally into USYD BCom from UTS or another Australian university with a similar WAM? Is 76.5 usually considered competitive, or is USYD BCom stricter than that now?
Also, would it be worth asking USYD for reassessment after the official transcript is uploaded, or asking for an alternative pathway/course? I’m also considering UNSW BCom as another option.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
