Elective Subjects

What is an elective / optional subject?

An elective subject (also referred to as an 'optional subject') is not compulsory (unlike core subjects). You have a choice as to which elective subjects you can study.

If your course requires you to choose electives, a list of options will be available in your study plan via my.unimelb.

Please note: Not all elective/optional subjects are offered in a given study period.

Check your course structure in the University Handbook for more detailed information about elective subjects, including availability and requisites.
