Electives(6 units) - 60

Units totalling 60 credit points selected from undergraduate units offered by the University. When selecting electives choose units at a suitable level. The first number in each unit code indicates the year level at which the subject is taught. Undergraduate units are coded at 100 to 400 level, therefore units coded as SBI1xx, SBI2xx and SBI3xx would be first, second and third year units respectively. Note that students can only take an additional 50cp of electives at the 100 level as they have already acquired 50cp in the core units.
