Elective subjects


Undergraduate courses

The provision of elective subjects allows students to further develop their expertise in the relevant degree or major discipline, or to develop other areas of expertise. Students may select subjects offered by another faculty.

At Caulfield and Peninsula students can select one or more subjects from the elective subjects listed under the heading `Choice of elective subjects for tagged Bachelor of Business students' or another undergraduate Business subject or subjects. Subjects from another institution may also be taken with the approval of the course director. Students wishing to study a subject which is not listed as an approved subject under the course entry in the handbook, should complete an application for a non-standard subject enrolment and lodge the form with their relevant departmental administration office. Students are strongly advised to discuss their proposed electives with their course director at the completion of the first-year of their program.

At Clayton electives can be chosen from any other faculty, but may not be of the same discipline area as the major and supporting studies chosen. For the generalist and specialised Bachelor of Commerce courses, up to two elective subjects of the appropriate year level can be undertaken in each year of the course. For the Bachelor of Economics, approximately half of all subjects can be electives from other faculties. Students may undertake a second major specialisation, such as a language, mathematics, computing, politics, history or sociology. Almost all subjects offered by the faculties of Arts, Science and Computing and Information Technology are available to students.

At Gippsland a student may include up to six semester-length subjects offered at degree level by other faculties of the university, provided they are of equivalent academic standing.
