IMPORTANT - Understand your program requirements:

It’s very important to follow the sequence of your program, completing courses as listed, along with the correct number of Electives and/or Program Options. Unless given permission, you can’t enrol in courses which do not contribute to the requirements of the award. Over-enrolling unnecessarily could result in additional tuition fee costs and take you longer to complete your program

If you wish to study additional courses that are not part of your program, you will be unable to study those additional courses and receive Commonwealth support. This is because the additional courses do not contribute towards your degree.  See here for further information.

Additional courses may be studied via Single and Short Courses.

If you’re unsure of what you need to do to complete your program, get in contact with your Program Manager to discuss the remaining requirements of your program.
