From Diploma to Degree
Students initially enroll in a two-year full time Diploma program after which they can choose to leave ACK and commence employment or, if they have achieved the required GPA at the time of graduation with a Diploma, continue for a further two years of full time study and complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Business or Engineering Technology.
The Two Plus Two Model
The Australian College of Kuwait offers what it calls the 2 + 2 model of study towards a degree.
The Choice is Yours
Enroll at ACK, study for two years and leave with an internationally recognized Diploma. If you obtain a Grade Point Average (GPA) greater than 2.67 at the completion of your ACK Diploma then you can continue on to a Degree at ACK by completing a further two years of study. ACK Diploma graduates with a GPA of 2.40 – 2.66 will be granted conditional entry to the Degree program.
Alternatively, you can transfer to another university in Kuwait or an Australian university and you may be given credit towards your degree. Any GPA requirement or other pre-requisite to study in Australia or at another university in Kuwait or elsewhere will be determined by the university concerned. However, ACK has formal agreements with some universities in Kuwait and Australia that ensure maximum credit towards a degree based on successful completion of the ACK Diploma. (No other pre-requisites are required – do we have this in writing? If not, I recommend this statement should be removed). Other universities will determine the credit transfer arrangements and pre-requisites on a case-by-case basis.
