Yes, if you are awarded credit transfer you will not have to study as many modules and it will affect which module you start with. You may also be prohibited from studying certain modules if your previous study is very similar. Any modules you are prohibited from studying will be shown on your credit transfer certificate once your credit transfer application has been finalised.
