First year electives allow you to take level 1 courses that are otherwise not core for your chosen specialisation. In some specialisations you may have recommended courses as your L1 electives, however you may choose any of the below subjects.
If one of your core courses is on the L1 elective list you can double count this and choose an extra discipline elective later in your program.
- First year electives can be taken at any time in your program. Some courses may have pre-requisites, co-requisites or exclusions, please check carefully.
- The chemistry courses are sequenced: (CHEM1811, CHEM1821) or (CHEM1011, CHEM1021) or (CHEM1031, CHEM1041).
- Students can only count one of either COMP1521 or COMP1531 as a first year elective.
- For more details about individual programs (like whether your school suggests certain electives), see the relevant entry in the  .
- All courses are 6 units of credit (UOC)
