Program
Refer to the Handbook for the relevant study pattern or coherent study for this program.
PLEASE NOTE: It is essential that students refer to degree rules and official unit sequences in the University handbook to ascertain their official study program which will vary from the sample program listed here. The University Calendar can be found at Macquarie University Handbook page.
It is highly recommended that students access the Macquarie University timetables website at least two weeks prior to your arrival and enrolment at Macquarie University. This will ensure that you have a suitable plan for the days and times that you wish to attend your lectures, tutorials and practical sessions for your enrolled units. Please note that your class timetable still needs to be officially confirmed with your Academic Adviser upon enrolment and may be subject to change due to class availability.
*Double Degrees:
Students electing not to complete all the requirements of the double degree may choose instead to qualify with either degree after all requirements of the single degree have been met. This is not available for all double degrees so academic advice should be sought.
