Your degree, your way
UWA courses are designed to give you a
competitive edge. Throughout your studies you’ll
gain practical experience and learn valuable
skills such as effective communication, problem-
solving and research abilities. These key
competencies enable you to adapt to an ever-
changing and rapidly developing world and help
future-proof your career.

Architecture, Design and Creative Arts 2019 Course Guide
Majors
You’ll complete one or two majors within your degree. Your
first major is a specialty area for when you know what career
you’re pursuing or if you want an in-depth understanding of a
particular topic of interest.
Your second major allows you to pursue another interest
and can be anything you like. You can choose a subject that
complements your first major or something completely
different, such as a language or music. Maybe you’re
passionate about sport science but really enjoy history?
At UWA you can try out both – it’s completely up to you.
Units
There are four types of units that make up your degree: core,
broadening, complementary and elective. A unit is a subject
that you study for one semester.
Core units
A core unit is one that must be taken to complete your
