Principles

13.1   Restricted electives, where present, are a course requirement whereby a student can choose a subject or a specified number of subjects from an approved list of subjects or from a specified discipline.
13.2   Restricted elective subject learning outcomes must combine with core subject learning outcomes to ensure that all course learning outcomes are achieved.
13.3   Restricted elective subject sets can be designed to deliver required course content, such as work integrated learning and graduate learning outcomes.
13.4   A restricted elective subject cannot be double counted towards a major, minor or specialisation.
