Elective advice

My course Study plans Elective advice

Top considerations when choosing your electives

  1. Carefully plan your elective choices. Elective topics can be used to add increased value to your degree.
  2. BGL Enrolment and Course Advisors can help you cluster your electives together to compliment your degree.
  3. Enhance your professional experience by choosing a least one topic from the professional experience cluster.
  4. Have a look at some recruitment sites to see what skills employers are really looking for, choose electives that help you develop skills in that area.
  5. Remember to check the prerequisites before trying to enrol into your chosen topic. 

Not sure how to choose your electives?

An elective is a topic you can choose from the University topic list.

Use your elective choice to add value to your degree, by choosing electives that enhance your interests and knowledge in a specific area and will give you a competitive edge. Which skill sets do you need to improve on?

If you are confused about which topics to choose, contact a BGL Enrolment and Course Advisor (courseadvice.BGL@flinders.edu.au) who can help you cluster your electives together to compliment your degree, or you may wish to choose an overseas exchange program  or a placement.

Select an area below that you are interested in to see what topics are available to you as an elective.
