• All Pass and Fail grades will be reflected in Degree Audits and transcripts.
• Eg. Student asked: “National Cheng Kung University(NCKU) Taiwan, Passing grade=60 and above but NTU’s 40 and above (for a ‘D’). Will the course be transferred as ‘Pass’ if I get 55 in NCKU?”
• Answer = No. (refer above) 17
The decision to approve/reject each course matching is not restricted to, but is largely based on the following factors:
1. Match in content (approximately 75% match) 2. Number of contact hours 3. The course must have some form of assessment
(e.g. test, projects, exam etc)
**Students are discouraged from reading courses that are pitched at the postgraduate level

1. Firstly, refer to MAE’s website for the brief course content
2. Secondly, refer to the host university’s course catalogue
3. Lastly, you can also refer to CourseFinder for past history course matching’s approval
***Note that not all approved course matchings found in the CourseFinder will be approved again as we are constantly reviewing our curriculum.
