• 25 credit points of Year 3 core specialisation subjects

• 25 credit points of Year 3 core specialisation capstone project subjects

Year 1:

• 100 credit points of Year 1 compulsory subjects

Year 2:

• 62.5 credit points of Year 2 core specialisation subjects
• 12.5 credit points of Year 2 Electrical Engineering selectives
• 25 credit points of electives

Year 3:

• 50 credit points of Year 3 core specialisation subjects
• 50 credit points of electives

Progression:

The core subject lists are divided into specific year levels, reflecting the recommended order of completing the course. There is, however, some flexibility between Year 2 and 3 core subjects, depending on the requisites set between them. Check the individual Handbook entries of these subjects for more detail.
