Electives Units
2 electives are normally selected in Years 1 and Year 2 and 4 electives in Year 3. 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. 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.
