Course unit selection fair, 2024-25

Explore your course unit options for the coming academic year! You can now access the Student Support course unit selection page; this includes information on programme structures and instructions on how to select course units. When you make your unit selections, please be sure to check your programme structure to ensure you are selecting the correct number, balance and type of units. This is especially important if you are a Joint Honours Student studying either Comparative Religion & Social Anthropology or Philosophy & Religion. If you have any questions, please email our Undergraduate Programme Director, Holly Morse.

Please note that course unit selection opens for year/level 3 at 10am on Wed 7 August and for year/level 2 at 10am on Thu 8 August. Key dates such as teaching periods and vacation dates can be found in the Academic Calendar.

Course unit fair videos, below: The course code itself tells you the year/level and the semester in which the course is running. For example, RELT30712 tells you that the course is year/level 3 and runs in semester 2. Bear in mind that some of the specific details discussed in the video (eg assessment, lecturer, semester) may have changed; the course code beneath the video gives the correct information. Note that the size of the video clips below can be increased by clicking on the YouTube logo, once they start playing.
