Electives

Students must choose six electives either by:

•  Completing a joint study in another discipline area, which will be included on the testamur, and adding the number of free electives needed to bring the total number of subjects to 24; or by

•  Selecting six free electives. A free elective is any undergraduate subject offered by Charles Sturt University provided prerequisites and enrolment restrictions have been met.

 

Students must ensure that there are no more than 12 level one subjects in their degree. The level of a subject is designated by the first digit in the subject code, e.g. ACC100 is a level one subject.

Joint studies

A joint study is a prescribed set of subjects taken from a discipline, other than the chosen specialisation. Students are then able to use the title of the joint study in conjunction with the specialisation (e.g. Bachelor of Business (Accounting/Finance). Details of approved joint studies are included in this section following Bachelor of Business specialisation entries.
