Electives
A university elective sits inside the Bachelor of Cyber Security structure so you can sample a subject beyond your core and minor while still meeting course rules. Electives are not presented as a separate panel on this page; they are chosen during subject planning with your advisor. Balance credit points, prerequisites, and minor timing so the elective strengthens rather than delays your path to graduation at RMIT Melbourne City across February or July intake plans. Use the elective to explore an adjacent interest — for example business, design, or another STEM area — without replacing required cyber security learning outcomes.
