Electives

University-wide elective courses

Choosing open electives

Some degrees contain space for ‘open’ or ‘free’ electives. This allows students to broaden their studies and acquire concepts, skills, and knowledge beyond their specialist teaching that can complement their overall learning.

An open elective allows you to choose from any course, provided you have met the prerequisites, is not incompatible with another course you have taken or need to take, and it is not restricted for students enrolled into a particular degree (for example, many Law, Veterinary, Nursing and Medicine courses cannot be taken unless you are doing the degree).
