300 credit points

Subject Options

Total 300 points - 250 points core (compulsory) and 50 points elective subjects from the lists below. Students must complete all 300 points of subjects, including all core subjects, or have advanced standing or exemption.

The core and elective subjects are listed below. The order of subjects is one way of progressing through the course - students who meet subject requisites may tailor their individual study plan to take into account advanced standing, and if a domestic student, their study load. Students plan their study online and can seek further advice from Stop 1 on individual study plans.

Suggested first 100 points:

Suggested study plan for the first 100 points:

• 37.5 points Mechatronics Electives from Group B

Core (50 points)

Mechatronics Electives Group A

Total 12.5 points

Students must choose at least 12.5 points from these electives:

Mechatronics Electives Group B

Total up to 37.5 points

Group B Electives are streamed and enable students to gain greater depth in a particular discipline based on their background. In several cases this will be dependent on students satisfying prerequisite requirements through their previous studies.

Students may choose up to 37.5 points from these electives.
