* Students selecting SPS2111 must select the Volleyball and Athletics components.
* SCP1132 and SCP1134 are very similar units. Both have been included as the units are offered on different semesters providing greater enrolment flexibility. Both units must not be selected together.
* SPS4116 is only available to students following the pre-physiotherapy pathway and requires Course Coordinator permission to enrol. SPS4116, a 20 credit point unit, will exceed the total amount of credit points required for this major. Approval has been given to allow this.


 
PRESCRIBED ELECTIVES
PRE-PHYSIOTHERAPY STREAM: If students are following the pre-physiotherapy stream it is commended that you complete the units in the order outlined below. Please note: A high course weighted average is required to be eligible for entry into the Master of Physiotherapy programme.

SCP1134 and SCP1132 are very similar units. The units are offered in different semesters providing greater enrolment flexibility allowing students to enrol in either SCP1132 (1st semester) or SCP1134 (2nd semester). Both Units must not be selected together.
