(* The English and Music pathways are available only to students who hold an A-level or equivalent qualification in that subject.)
Optional Units
If a student has fewer than 120 credits in any given year of study (once they have been allocated their core Liberal Arts units and pathway units) they may also take ‘optional units’. An ‘optional unit’ does not need to be a unit in your pathway discipline. It can be a unit offered by any department within the Faculty of Arts, which are all listed in the pathways section above. Alternatively, it can be an 'open unit' offered by any department in the university.
