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: Bachelor of Science component: MATH101 or MATH102 may be completed in lieu of MATH120 or STAT100. A strong background in Mathematics is required for MATH101 or MATH102. The number and combination of Listed Units for this Major and Elective Units in which candidates enrol each year can be varied to the suggested pattern above to take into account unit availability. Candidates must complete: (i) not more than 36 credit points at 100-level; and (ii) at least 36 credit points at 300/400-level including 12 credit points from units other than ARPA, GEPL and PSYC units.

Suggested Part-Time Course Plan

For candidates studying Part Time = 24 cps per year. 12-15 Hours of study per week should be allocated for each 6 cp unit enrolment.
