Program Overview

Electives for MDSI Students

Introduction

Students admitted to the Master of Data Science and Innovation (MDSI) can take up to 24 credit points of unspecified elective subjects outside the elective subject list.

Requesting Enrolment into Another Faculty's Subjects as Electives

Some electives have prerequisites or access conditions. Students are not permitted to take an elective subject that covers substantially the same material as a required subject or a subject already undertaken.

How to Enrol in a Subject Offered by Another Faculty as an Elective

To enrol in a subject offered by another faculty as an elective, students can apply via eRequest. The eRequest for enrolment in elective subjects offered by another faculty will require the approval of the subject coordinator. The subject coordinator can waive the pre-requisites (admission or academic) listed in the access conditions of the subject, as per the UTS Handbook.

Searching for a Subject Under the Elective Choice Block

If a course allows for free electives, students may choose any subject at the same level offered by UTS. This requires choosing an undergraduate subject if studying for a bachelor degree or choosing a postgraduate subject if admitted into a master degree. Students can search the UTS Handbook and UTS timetable planner for subject options.
