Find a unit outline
Unit outlines help you plan your unit choices, organise your studies and assessments, and provide evidence of the topics you have studied.
You can then select from a list of available unit outlines for your current study period.
Unit outlines will be available 2 weeks before the first day of teaching for 1000-level and 5000-level units, or one week before the first day of teaching for all other units.
Due to the ongoing effects of coronavirus (Covid-19), there may be a delay with some unit outlines being available as we confirm teaching and assessment item dates. We are working to publish unit outlines as soon as possible and apologise for any inconvenience.
