These units are open to all students who have completed over 120 credit points in any subject area or degree.

• COOPC2001 Community Impact Project 1 – 15 credit points: This unit offers students the opportunity to collaborate with a community partner in a real-life project. The host organisation identifies an issue or challenge it is facing and student participants research and propose creative and sustainable solutions.

• BUENT 3705 Industry-Based Case Studies – 15 credit points: A real-life case study will be presented to students in class by an external organisation. You will explore some of the key issues of contemporary workplaces, work in groups then present back to the organisation.

Workplace-based units

Students in these units will undertake approved project(s) for an employer, which will contribute to the overall goals of the organisation

You will need to have space available in your course structure or student plan so that the credits you receive for your overseas study can contribute to your degree. You can use overseas study as an elective, professional practice or 'equivalent' to electives required for your major, minor or specialisation.

1. Find your course structure or student plan.

2. Consider when you would like to go overseas. 

   We recommend going overseas in your second year, or in the first half of your third year. Look at these teaching periods in your course structure or student plan so that you know your program requirements. We recommend going overseas in a semester when you have more electives.

   If you have all compulsory units, you can still go overseas on exchange or study abroad if you can find equivalent units at your preferred institution. You may also need to consider if units are equivalents for required courses in your major, minor or specialisation, and how they impact pre-requisites for later study.

3. Start researching and contact the Student Mobility Office.
   Read more about studying overseas on the Global Professional School website. You'll find information about different ways to study overseas, our partners and the application process. Contact the Student Mobility Office at studyabroad@federation.edu.au for specialised advice and to discuss your options.

If your course requires a major, minor or specialisation, you must enrol in units that meet its requirements. There may be a pre-approved unit list showing the required sequence for each option. Before choosing, remember to check the pre-requisites. It’s a good idea to plan your chosen sequence across the coming year, and for your whole degree.

You can find short unit descriptions in my Student Centre (select the ‘Higher Ed Enrolment’ tile, select ‘Browse Unit Catalogue’ in the left-hand menu, then enter the unit code with a space between the letters and numbers e.g. FEAFN 1101) or detailed unit outlines via these webpages:
