  • 100 credit points: 8 core units
  • 50 credit points: 4 major units
  • 50 credit points: 4 elective units

A major is an area of focus in your degree. During your studies, you’ll choose an area that interests you, and then study a group of units related to that area. Find out more at What is a Major?

In your Elective component you can choose from any units marked as "Student Electives" which you meet the pre-requisites for, at any level, from across the university. To search for possible Elective units, use the Unit Search tool to search by the discipline that you are interested in.

Your electives can be used to add breadth to your degree, by exploring a variety of different subject areas from across the University from within or outside the College of Sciences and Engineering. Alternatively, you can deepen your engagement with specific subject areas, for example, by completing additional units in the same discipline as your major area or related fields.

You can also use this space to complete an optional second major (of note, if you intend to continue your studies through to Bachelor level) which may be a second major chosen from another course noting some exclusions apply. Not all majors can be taken by students in different courses.
