Degree	A degree is a qualification awarded by a university. It is awarded for successful work at undergraduate (bachelor degree) or postgraduate (higher degree e.g. Masters) level.
Handbook	The Handbook sets out the requirements for your degree, as well as the majors and units available for study. You must follow the Handbook of the year you started your degree. This is to ensure you meet all the requirements necessary for you to graduate.
Faculty	The University is divided into five key subject areas called faculties. Each degree falls under one of the five faculties. To see what faculty in which a degree falls, visit the Handbook. Faculty of Science and Engineering (FOSE) Faculty of Business and Economics (FOBE) Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FOMHS) Faculty of Human Sciences (FOHS) Faculty of Arts (FOA)
Credit point	Each unit is worth a specified number of credit points. This indicates the amount of work required in the unit. Each credit point reflects 3 hours of work – so a 3 credit point unit would require 9 hours of work (in class and at home) each week. An undergraduate unit is worth 3 credit points.
Unit	A unit is a subject studied within a degree. An undergraduate unit is worth 3 credit points. The letters represent the subject area of the unit and can be found in the Handbook. The first number represents the year level and level of understanding required for this unit. For example, AHIS118 Latin A, is a 100 level unit for Ancient Languages. Upon the successful completion of this unit, you will have the knowledge to attempt higher level units. For example, AHIS219 Latin B.

Required or optional units for your degree can't count as a People unit or a Planet unit. Your People unit(s) and Planet unit(s) must be taken from two different faculties. For example, if you take your People unit from the Faculty of Arts, your Planet unit must be taken from one of the other four faculties. For example, 1 x People unit from Arts means 1 x Planet unit chosen from either: Faculty of Science and Engineering (FOSE) Faculty of Business and Economics (FOBE) Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FOMHS) Faculty of Human Sciences (FOHS)
