Course requirements

Before you enrol, you need to plan your course. Thinking ahead and mapping out what you'll study is key to succeeding in your course.

To plan your course:

• read your handbook for your course requirements, including whether you need to choose a program, major(s), minor, specialisation, or units of study
• understand your course structure and how to choose your units
• check whether you can apply for credit or recognition of prior learning, if you've completed previous study or have relevant work experience
