What is a transferable degree?

A transferable degree (also called a portable or mobile degree) is a formal qualification recognised by several higher educational institutions, allowing students to move with ease between different programs and higher education institutions within a country or across different countries. Transferable degrees facilitate academic progression and internationalisation, enabling individuals to pursue further studies or enhance their career prospects. Often associated with modular educational systems, transferable degrees provide individuals with the flexibility to pursue diversified pathways to higher education.
