Approved elective subjects

Approved electives may include, subject to prerequisites:
* Any subject from the Computer Systems Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering or Information Technology elective lists, or
* Any subject offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, or
* With written approval of the head of department or nominee, a subject from elsewhere in the university.
Subjects in the last of these categories must not include substantial material already taken or to be taken as part of the degree. Only one subject may be taken at each level of the degree from this category, allowing students to pursue an approved sequence of subjects from elsewhere in the university.
