Suggested Course Plan
The following is a standard pattern of enrolment or pathway for candidates studying on a full-time basis. It takes into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can choose to study less units than the full-time pattern. Part-tiem candidates can use this as a guide as to how best to structure their studies.
For candidates studying Full-Time = 48cps per year or 24cps per semester
| Year | Notes | Semester 1 | Semester 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | In their first year candidates should enrol these 6 core 100-level units and enrol in PHYS131 or PSYC101 in Semester 1 and PHYS132 or PSCY102 in Semester 2. |
