The Qwest score
One number to help you spot the strongest matches.
A 0 to 100 score for how closely two courses match, built from what is actually taught and what has already been approved.
- Course descriptions
- Learning outcomes
- Historical approvals
The more evidence, the more reliable the score.
One approval, many students
An approval stays valid for about two years, and while it stands the next student heading the same way reuses it instead of starting from scratch. When it lapses it goes back for a quick re-check, so the shared library of approvals only gets more useful over time.
Less repetitive admin. A clearer picture of your students.
Stop answering the same equivalency question fifty times a term. UQwest turns your past approvals into a living database, and shows you exactly where students want to go and which courses they need.
Approve requests in one queue
Review student requests, approve or send them back, and every decision becomes a reusable equivalency for the next student.
Built by students who've been there
Two engineering students who hit every wall trying to figure out which courses would transfer on exchange. Endless emails, scattered spreadsheets, advisors out of office. We built UQwest so the next student wouldn't have to do all that.
Plan your exchange with confidence
Free for students. Start with the map, no account needed to look around.
