Students commencing in Semester 2 (July intake)
The study planners provided outline the order of courses to be completed from semester 1 to semester 2. The planners identify semester offerings and in many instances, will be the same for students commencing the program from semester 2. You should check the course offerings to ensure that you are completing the courses in a way that ensures your progression in the program.
If the course sequencing in the planner does not work for you, please contact the School or book an appointment with an academic advisor to obtain individual advice.
