Hey there r/UWA!
Posts about easy elective units or advice on specific units are very common here, so in an effort to reduce repetitive posts, this will function as a unit megathread with:
- links to useful resources,
- an FAQ, and
- a place for discussion, where users can ask and answer more specific questions.
If you have a problem or question related to electives units, PLEASE CHECK the links, FAQ, and discussion below FIRST. If you're still stuck, PLEASE COMMENT your question below and before creating a new post. This will help us reduce clutter - thank you in advance!
This post will stay pinned and may be edited in the future. Suggestions for additions to the links and/or FAQ can be left in the comments also.

OFFICIAL RESOURCES:
- UWA Handbook - the most important resource regarding courses and enrolment, contains almost ALL the information you may need.
- (To view handbooks from previous years, head to the archived handbooks. It's important that you follow the rules outlined in the handbook from the year in which you enrolled!)
- askUWA - where your important questions may be answered; there's an FAQ and a place to email your questions to UWA officials.
- Elective choices (from the handbook) - a list of the recommended elective units.
- (Note: this is not ALL the possible elective choices, just official recommendations.)
UNOFFICIAL RESOURCES:
- Best Units Guide - this list compiled by the UWA Student Guild, with contributions from actual students, describes and ranks many elective units. A VERY useful resource if you need some ideas on good electives!
- StudentVIP subject reviews - this site has many features, but this specific part lists MANY units at UWA with reviews and an average score. Reviewers aren't screened for authenticity - but still another VERY useful resource for both choosing electives & preparing for core units.
FAQ ❔
What are some easy electives/GPA boosters/etc.?
Resources linked above, particularly the Best Units Guide & StudentVIP subject reviews, will likely contain the answer to this question. Be sure to check those out for student's opinions on elective units!
However, "easy" is subjective - what's easy for you may be difficult for someone else, which is why it's important to consider what you generally struggle with and what you're actually looking for. Are you looking for a unit with low time commitment? One with no exam? One with few assignments?
