Recommended Electives
Below is a list of electives recommended for those studying within the Multimedia program as they appear in the Part B list of the official course list. You should take up to #16 of your electives from this list - with no more than #8 units of Level 1 courses. This is not a comprehensive list of courses offered by UQ that are available as electives.These courses have been recommended for electives by students & staff in the program as being relevant to multimedia. If you are unsure of what electives to select, please contact one of the Multimedia Program teaching staff for advice. We have put together some suggested study plans based on particular interest areas at - http://study.itee.uq.edu.au/degree_programs/BMultMedDes/pathsofstudy.html. If your interest area lies outside of these suggestions or you are unsure of which avenue to choose, please contact an Academic Advisor to discuss your options.
Be sure to check the pre-requisites for each course, as you may have to plan your electives to lead in to a particular course. For example, INFS2244 requires INFS2233 so you would need to plan to complete the pre-requisite before enrolling in INFS2244.
This list is current as of 20 January 2009. At the time of writing of this list, the following courses as listed in Part B of the program course list are not being offered - WRIT1002, MSTU1002 and SOSC1003. In their place, we suggest COMU1999, ORGC1602, ORGC2602. Shaded courses are offered both in Semester 1 & Semester 2.
| Semester Offered | Semester 1 | Semester 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Shaded courses are offered in both Semester 1 & Semester 2 | ||
