Students Commencing in Summer Semester


Study plans for 2011 are accurate as at 3 August 2010. The University reserves the right to make changes up until 1 October 2010.  2011 unit offering and fee information will be available from 1 October 2010.

The Recommended Study Plan provided below is suitable for a student commencing in Summer Semester and enrolling in a reduced full time load.  Students entering this course with advanced standing, or wishing to vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan.

When designing an individual study plan:

♦    ensure Common Units are completed in the first year of study;

♦    maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and

♦    check the assumed knowledge for each unit as some 200 and 300 level units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the subject area at a lower level.  200 level units have the unit code which includes a number starting with 200 i.e. PMO201.
