UQ Terminology

Before we get to the details, it is important to know some of the UQ terminology:

Your 'program' is the degree you are enrolled in. For example, the BCompSc is a program; and the BCompSc/BEcon is a dual degree program.

A 'course' is one subject (for example, CSSE1001). Most courses at UQ are worth two units (#2). A normal full-time study load is four courses (8 units or #8) per semester.

'Electives' are flexible courses that can enable a choice from a specified list. The courses available for selection depend upon what type of elective you are using: General Electives, Program Electives, Breadth Electives, Advanced Electives and Major Electives are some examples of electives available. Ensure the electives chosen satisfy your program's requirements.
