Approved elective units

Approved electives may include, subject to prerequisites:
* any unit from the Computer Systems Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering or Information Technology elective lists, or
* any unit offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, or
* with written approval of the head of department or nominee, a unit from elsewhere in the university.

Units in the last of these categories must not include substantial material already taken or to be taken as part of the degree. Only one unit may be taken at each level of the degree from this category, allowing students to pursue an approved sequence of units from elsewhere in the university.
