Hi
My question is about academic credit transfers.
I am in Dubai (UAE) and planning to do my second Masters degree (MBA) from Edinburgh Business School (EBS)(Heriot Watt University - Dubai Campus).
My Bachelors degree/ Masters degree are from University of Wollongong In Australia.
Now my question is about conversion.
1) If i apply to EBS directly for exemptions how many credit points (Maximum) can i get as exemption?
2) In Australia we have 6 credit points per subject where as UK has a module system with 20 credit points per subject. In Australian system we take 2 subjects per semester (12 credit points).
Australian /UK both have 11-12 subjects/ modules in MBA.
How do they calculate and exempt subjects?
I tried this to understand... but got more confused
ECTS grading scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EBS website says exemption for 1 subject transfer from undergraduate degree
and 4 credit points exemptions from Masters degree (Level 7).

I am about to apply but do not want to waste time/ money on something not worth it.
Dubai campus is an authorized examination center but main exemptions approval will come from ebs.
Please Help me understand the UK educational system... :confused2:
