All students study a set of core units developing the skills and knowledge required to be an ICT Professional.
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 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 or related fields.
You can also use this space to complete an optional second major which may be a (i) *second disciplinary major, (ii) a sustainability major, or (iii) *another major from across the institution, noting some exclusions apply.
