The Program Planner tool is designed to help you understand your program structure and select courses that may be of interest to you in your first year of studies.

The Program Planner will also allow you to plan your enrolment for the duration of your program, can include any credit you may have from previous tertiary study and enables you to consider undertaking a semester on exchange.
