Design your degreeUWA courses are designed to give you a competitive edge. Throughout your studies you will gain practical experience and learn valuable skills such as effective communication, problem-solving and research. These key competencies enable you to adapt to an ever-changing and rapidly developing world and help future-proof your career.

Build a degree that keeps your options open Our flexible course structure enables you to choose units of study across different subject area, and discover your interests in fields as diverse as Accounting and Zoology before deciding on a career.

Once you’ve discovered what you’re passionate about in your first year, you then specialise in your chosen area of study by selecting one or two majors.

Course building blocksMajor: This is the subject area you choose to specialise in within your bachelor’s (first) degree.

Core units: A core unit is one that must be taken to complete your chosen major. Some majors have set core units while others allow you to choose from a list of core unit options.

Complementary units: These are units which go hand-in-hand with your major. They are designed to provide you with additional knowledge to help you complete your major.

Broadening unitsBroadening units add a valuable dimension to your studies and provide you with knowledge beyond the fields in which you choose to specialise. Undertaking broadening units is a requirement of the University’s undergraduate degree course structure.

Broadening units fall into two categories, A and B. You are required to take four broadening units of which at least one must be a Category A broadening unit (up to two Category A broadening units may be undertaken from within the knowledge area of your degree-specific major) and at least two broadening units (Category A or B) must be undertaken from outside the knowledge area of your degree-specific major.

Category A includes units:(i) with a focus on the globalised and

culturally diverse environment(ii) in languages other than English (iii) offered by the School of

Indigenous Studies(iv) undertaken for credit as part of

a Student Exchange or Study Abroad program, where the unit is undertaken at a host institution

(v) with mathematics and/or statistical theory as their core teaching content

Category B comprises units from any discipline outside the knowledge area of your degree-specific major (subject to meeting unit prerequisites).

Elective units: Also known as ‘free choice’ units. These units give you a great opportunity to explore other areas of interest and expand your knowledge.

Our courses are adaptable so you can choose to focus on a specific career, pursue your personal interests, or both.

Pursue one or two majorsConcentrate on a single major if you are already focused on a specific career or area of interest. If you want to keep your options open or have more than one passion, you can complete two majors in the same time at no extra cost.

Still working it out?If you’re not sure what path to take in your first year, you can try different areas of study. You could study subjects as diverse as Marine Science, Sport Science, Chinese and Management. This would give you a good cross section of subjects and help you work out what you’re best suited to and enjoy the most. Then, in your second year, you’d be in a great position to confidently choose a major in one of these areas. The units studied in your first year will count towards your degree and when you finish your studies, you’ll not only be job-ready but have a diverse skill set that will benefit you throughout your career.

Help with English language skills

The University offers a choice of English language programs through the Centre for English Language Teaching (CELT) to prepare international students for tertiary academic study.

UWA Centre for English Language TeachingUWA CELT offers accredited English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) programs in General English, Business English and English for Academic Purposes, as well as preparation for internationally recognised examinations such as the IELTS and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Academic English and Study Skills Bridging Course (Bridging Course)The Bridging Course has been designed for international students who wish to study at UWA but do not have the University’s required level of English proficiency.
