Note: Specialisations in the Aeronautical Stream

A stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Aeronautical Engineering, such as Aerospace Systems.
A breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Aeronautical Engineering, in areas such as Humanitarian Engineering or Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you opt to take a breadth specialisation, it takes the place of your free electives.

You have 3 specialisation combinations to choose from in the Aeronautical Stream:

1 stream specialisation [18cp] + 1 free elective [6cp] or
1 breadth specialisation [24cp] (no free electives) or
Stream electives or free electives [24cp] (no specialisation option)

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisation should select Aeronautical Stream Electives in Sydney Student `My studies`.
