Suggested Full-Time Course Plan
The following are standard patterns of enrolment or pathways for candidates studying on a full-time or part-time basis. They take into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can each year choose to study less units than the full-time pattern or more units than the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these standard patterns as guides as to how best to structure their studies.
For candidates studying Full-Time = 48 cps per year. 12-15 Hours of study per week should be allocated for each 6 cp unit enrolment.

| Notes: The number and combination of Prescribed Units for this Major and Listed/Elective Units in which candidates enrol each year can be varied to the suggested pattern above to take into account unit availability. Candidates undertaking a 2nd Major as part of their program of study may need to substitute the Core Units for their 2nd Major in first year in place of a number of 100-level Elective Units and will need to complete the Prescribed and/or Listed Units for their 2nd Major in place of a number of Elective Units in Yrs 2 and 3. Candidates are advised that MATH101 and MATH102 assume a knowledge of HSC Mathematics or equivalent. Where available students may undertake units in Trimester 3. |
