Course unit selection fair, 2020-21

Explore your course unit options for the coming academic year! The course code itself tells you the year/level and the semester in which the course is running. For example, RELT30672 tells you that the course is year/level 3 and runs in semester 2. Bear in mind that some of the specific details (eg assessment) are provisional at this stage. Note that the size of the video clips below can be increased by clicking on the YouTube logo, once they start playing.
