Understanding electives and selectives



You will have up to 18 points for electives

Use electives to:

• Pursue other science or non-science interests (language, literature, music, etc).


You will need to undertake 2 ‘selective’ units during your degree

• ECC1000 Principles of microeconomics

• MON2005 Law in professional contexts

• ATS1325 Contemporary worlds 1

• ATS1326 Contemporary worlds 2

• MGX3100 Management, ethics and corporate governance

• ACC1000 Principles of accounting and finance

• ECC1100 Principles of macroeconomics


You will need to undertake 2 level 1 science sequences from the following areas:• Geography and environmental science• Biology• Chemistry• Earth science• Mathematical sciences• Physics• Psychology• Computational science

Understanding course requirements

Also consider: • Which maths/stats unit will you take?• Do you have room left for electives? How will you best use this

allowance?

1. Identify your planned future science area(s) of study. Choose at least two pair of units in first year.

2. Check the sequence and prerequisite requirements for the units. You can find this information in the handbook: http://bit.ly/1ksHbSN

Find out• What pair of units you need to complete in first year• Are there any additional requirements?
