LEVEL 1 credit package (fulltime equivalent)

Stream one (for students assessed to need a greater understanding of physics content required at undergraduate level)

Note that a minimum 3 subjects per semester is necessary for student visa requirements for fulltime study. The following enrolment pattern accommodates this, the fact that international students have visas issued for two years (and they want to stay for the whole two years) and the limitations surrounding several 16 point subjects which limit flexibility.
