MATH1061 may be replaced by advanced unit MATH1961.
IMPORTANT: When choosing your elective units, consider the specialisation(s) you have chosen and the unit levels. For example, if you are completing a stream specialisation that only contains 3000+ level units, you should leave them for later in the degree once you have completed foundational units, and select 1000-level free electives in your first year.
If you have chosen to complete both a stream and a breadth specialisation, you don't have space for free electives. Please speak with an Academic Advisor and plan your degree carefully.
