Navigating the University of Sydney Website for Courses
Click here to access USYD’s handbook to access a full list of courses, organized by thematic areas and by faculty/department. From there, click on corresponding links to navigate to important information and comprehensive details about course content and structure, syllabi, and credit-point requirements.
Couple of notes to keep in mind:
- In Australia, the fall semester (semester 1) occurs in the first half of the year (February to June). Spring semester (semester 2) occurs in the second half of the year (July to November).
- Courses, referred to as ‘Units of study’, are available at 1000-level through 4000-level:
- 1000- level is equivalent to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 100 level, introductory level)
- 2000- level is equivalent to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 200 level, prior knowledge is required)
- 3000- level is equivalent to the 3rd year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 300 level, advanced level)
- 4000- level is equivalent to the 4th year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 400 level, advanced level)
- Some courses may have pre-requisites requiring students to have already completed specific courses or equivalents at a lower level. As a study abroad student, you are not expected to have taken the specific pre-requisite requirement, but you must have studied a relevant or similar course/module in your home country/institution. You should take previous academic experience into account when making course choices.
- Some courses may have co-requisites, which means that the course and the co-requisite must be taken at the same time. If no pre-requisites or co-requisites are specified, then courses should be open to all students.
- Hands-on art studio courses in the CAEL and CAST departments may have strict enrollment limits and priority will be given to students whose study is closely related to fine arts or contemporary arts degrees at their home institution.
- Law units (LAWS) are restricted to students who are studying an accredited Law degree (LLB, LLM, JD, etc.). Students intending to go to law school in the future may find courses/units of study of interest in this thematic list
- Students are strongly encouraged to list 8-10 courses/units of study on their initial list of requests and have those pre-approved with the home institution as well.
