Art & Design
Course descriptions can be found in alphabetical order by course code in the Online Handbook. Timetable constraints and availability of staff do not allow all courses to be offered every year, although endeavours are made to offer the full range over a 3-year period.
All students enrol via the UNSW student portal, myUNSW (https://my.unsw.edu.au/). It is the responsibility of the students to enrol in courses consistent with the rules and requirements of their program.
Core, Elective, Prerequisite, Corequisite and Excluded Courses
All programs are governed by basic conditions or rules that specify what a student needs to complete in order to qualify for a degree. Normally a student will study a mixture of compulsory and elective courses.
|
Compulsory or core courses are ones that must be studied, usually at the stage specified in the program. One compulsory course is often a prerequisite for another that comes later.
Elective courses allow students to plan their studies to specific needs, interests and careers aspirations. Some student choose electives to focus and deepen their studies, others will choose electives across a broad range of areas. Some electives may have to be taken from a specific list. Please refer to the list of Undergraduate Elective Courses or the list of Postgraduate Elective Courses for further information, or consult the Art & Design website at www.artdesign.unsw.edu.au. Where a choice of elective courses is available, students should take care to satisfy prerequisites and corequisites and not complete excluded courses.
Prerequisites are courses that must be satisfactorily completed before a student can progress to a later course. Prerequisites are specified in the course descriptions and students without the necessary prerequisite for a course will be block from enrolment into that course.
Corequisites are courses that must be either be completed successfully before, or studied concurrently with, the course for which it is prescribed.
Excluded courses are courses students are excluded from taking, generally because they have content in common with courses for which the student has previously completed or has been granted credit.
