International Credit Transfer —
Cross-Border Credit Recognition Made Manageable
Transferring academic credits between institutions in different countries is one of the most complex processes in higher education — involving multiple credit frameworks, grading scale conversions, and formal equivalency documentation. Edufly's international credit transfer specialists handle all of it.
What Is International Credit Transfer?
International credit transfer — recognising academic credits earned at a university in one country at an institution in a different country — involves navigating a fundamental challenge: different countries use entirely different credit systems, grading scales, academic year structures, and qualification frameworks. A credit hour at a US university is not the same as an ECTS credit at a European university, which is not the same as a credit hour under the Malaysian MQA framework.
Converting between these systems requires expert knowledge of each country's framework, the official conversion methodologies, and how to present the equivalency argument in a way the receiving institution can verify and accept. A student who simply submits their foreign transcript will typically receive far fewer credits — or none at all — compared to a student whose international credit transfer is professionally prepared with formal equivalency documentation.
Edufly's international credit transfer service covers all major country pairs — including Malaysia-to-Australia, Malaysia-to-UK, Malaysia-to-US, Australia-to-Malaysia, UK-to-Malaysia, and more — preparing formal cross-framework credit equivalency portfolios that receiving institutions can assess with confidence.
Malaysia ↔ Australia (MQA ↔ AQF/TEQSA) · Malaysia ↔ United Kingdom (MQA ↔ QAA/CATS) · Malaysia ↔ United States (MQA ↔ US semester credits) · Malaysia ↔ Europe (MQA ↔ ECTS) · Australia ↔ UK · UK ↔ US · Any other international pair on request.
Edufly converts between all major credit frameworks: MQA (Malaysia) · AQF/TEQSA (Australia) · QAA/CATS (UK) · ECTS (Europe) · US semester/quarter credits · NZF (New Zealand) · NZQA · Singapore MOE framework. Each conversion is documented with the official conversion methodology and supporting accreditation evidence.
How International Credit Transfer Works
We identify the credit frameworks operating at both the source institution (where you studied) and the receiving institution (where you are transferring to) — and establish the official conversion methodology between them.
We map your completed modules across the two frameworks — converting credit values, grading scales, and academic year structures — and produce a formal credit equivalency table showing the direct conversion.
We prepare a comprehensive international credit transfer portfolio — including the equivalency table, grading scale conversion, accreditation evidence for the source institution, and module content comparison documentation.
We submit to the receiving institution's international admissions or credit transfer office, manage all follow-up queries, and provide additional supporting documentation if requested during assessment.
