Students can view all available specialisations under the `Major/Pathways` tab. We strongly recommend that students complete their Foundation units before enrolling in specialisation units.

The Specialist units chosen may contribute towards a designated Specialisation. See the Majors/Pathways tab for details of each Specialisation.

Students who have completed a minimum of 48 credit points with at least Distinction average marks may take the Work Integrated Pathway. The Work Integrated Pathway must be taken during the last semester of studies.
