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 or 24 cps per semester. This equates to a workload of approximately 40-48 hours per week.

Year	Notes	Semester 1	Semester 2
1	In their first year candidates should enrol in these 4 Core Units and 4 Elective Units at 100-level.	MATH101	MATH102
		PHYS131	PHYS132
		100-level Elective Unit	100-level Elective Unit
		100-level Elective Unit	100-level Elective Unit
2	In Yr 2 candidates should enrol in either 4 Listed Units for this Major and 4 Elective Units or 2 Listed Units for this Major and 6 Elective Units.	200/300-level Listed Unit for this Major	200/300-level Listed Unit for this Major
		200/300-level Listed Unit for this Major or 200-level Elective Unit	300-level Listed Unit for this Major or 200-level Elective Unit
		200-level Elective Unit	200-level Elective Unit
		200-level Elective Unit	200-level Elective Unit
3	In Yr 3 candidates should enrol in either 4 Listed Units for this Major and 4 Elective Units or 2 Listed Units for this Major and 6 Elective Units.	300-level Listed Unit for this Major	300-level Listed Unit for this Major
		Listed Unit for this Major or Elective Unit	300-level Listed Unit for this Major or Elective Unit
		300-level Elective Unit	300-level Elective Unit
		300-level Elective Unit	Elective Unit
Notes: 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 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. Units marked with an * are offered by Murdoch University and available to UNE candidates on a cross-institutional basis.

Suggested Part Time Course Plan

For candidates studying Part-Time = 24 cps per year or 12 cps per semester. This equates to a workload of approximately 20-24 hours per week.

Year	Notes	Semester 1	Semester 2
1	In their first year candidates should enrol in these 4 Core Units.	MATH101	MATH102
1		PHYS131	PHYS132
2	In Yr 2 candidates should enrol in 4 Elective Units at 100-level.	100-level Elective Unit	100-level Elective Unit
2		100-level Elective Unit	100-level Elective Unit
3	The number and combination of Listed Units for this Major and Elective Units in which candidates enrol each year for Yrs 3 to 6 can be varied to that suggested here to take into account unit availability.	200/300-level Listed Unit for this Major	200/300-level Listed Unit for this Major
3		200/300-level Listed Unit for this Major or 200-level Elective Unit	300-level Listed Unit for this Major or 200-level Elective Unit
