Notes:
- AU figures in brackets (x) indicate the number of AU if the semester internship is selected.
- Must read either Final Year Project (PH44XX) or Professional Internship (PH4420).
- A minimum CGPA of 4.50 and a grade of A- or better in the Final Year Project are required to be eligible for Honours (Highest Distinction). A minimum CGPA of 4.00 and a 'Pass' grade in the Final Year Project are required to be eligible for Honours (Distinction).
- All common core and graduate level courses cannot be mapped to exchange courses. PH4XXX courses can only be mapped to exchange courses as BDE, unless the exchange course is a graduate-level course. Please refer to this page for more information.
