What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Published prerequisite credits, Credits you can document. The calculation uses the values you enter for Published prerequisite credits, Credits you can document and returns the planning output described by the tool.

How to read the result

A numeric gap is useful only after course content has been classified correctly. Programme staff may require syllabus-level review.

What the number does not prove

An admissions pre-screen can identify published gaps, but it cannot guarantee admission. Programme-specific prerequisites, document review, capacity and holistic selection can still control the outcome.

Best next step

Use the result to identify the exact programme requirement that needs verification next, then check the institution’s current admissions page before paying an application fee.

Verify the governing ruleThis page explains a planning method, not a universal licensing rule. If your credential has a mandatory total, category, provider, or reporting rule, use the issuing authority as the final source.
Important: This is a planning aid. Universities, scholarship providers, immigration authorities, recognition bodies and professional regulators control their own decisions and changing requirements.
