Best units guide

The Best Units Guide has been developed by the Guild as your one-stop shop for the most interesting and engaging broadening units and electives at UWA. All units featured in the guide were submitted by students who have taken the unit. Want to recommend a unit for the guide? Keep an eye on our socials for our regular callouts!

Units have been categorised based on which degree-specific major discipline they belong to. Depending on your course, units may fill the requirements for broadening units or electives. To check how a unit could fit into your course requirements, visit the UWA Handbook or contact your assigned Faculty Student Office.

Please note, some submissions have been edited for clarity.
