What is a course and what are its components?

  • A Course is a structured combination of approved units which when completed qualifies the student for an award from Curtin. A course may include a major(s), minor(s) and/or, stream(s).
  • A Unit is a discrete entity of study within a subject area and is the fundamental component for teaching, learning and assessment.
  • A Major is a series of units which pursues learning of a single discipline or area of study.
  • A Minor/Specialisation is a smaller set of units designed to enhance graduate employability.
  • A Stream is a specialised structure of units within a course and is used to define a specific pathway of study.

Use the 'Search' feature to find out more about a course, major, minor, stream or unit of study.
