Using the Handbook's search tool you can filter units by faculty, location, teaching mode and teaching period.

Recommended to select units with a code number prefix of 1, 2 or 3 only. This corresponds to 1st, 2nd and 3rd year e.g. MGC1010 is a 1st year unit. Units with a code number prefix of '5' or above are usually postgraduate units and are available only to students enrolled in a postgraduate degree.

Non-Law units with a code number prefix of '4' are generally honours level and are not available to Exchange and Study Abroad students. You will need to take account of the points made on the academic considerations website when selecting units at Monash University, as they relate specifically to units taught in that faculty.

• There are some units (subjects/modules) that, for different reasons, are not available to you as an Exchange or Study Abroad student. This is clearly defined in the Handbook with the question "Open to exchange or study abroad students?" and answered yes or no. You should select 'on campus' units but are permitted to do 1 of your 4 units per semester online or as distance education;
• Undergraduate students can only choose undergraduate units, and postgraduate students can study up to 50% of their units at undergraduate level but note undergraduate units won’t be selectable in the application for postgraduate students and should be emailed to Monash Abroad after application submission. Postgraduate students may also choose to enrol entirely into an undergraduate exchange course (no postgraduate units);
• Select the units offered in "Second Semester" for February-June and “Second Semester” for July-November. Undergraduate students and non-postgraduate Law students may not select units taught in any other teaching period e.g. Summer A, Summer B, winter, Terms 1-4, Trimesters AC.
