Free Elective and Gen Ed Explain (1 Viewer)

[Donutsmandm55]

Can someone tell me the difference between Free Elective and General Education? I heard free elective has to be within your home faculty. Is that true or can i just pick any course i want?

 

[KidDang]

Free Elective is from any faculty
Gen ed is outside it

there is a list of approved gen ed from each faculty on the unsw website somewhere

 

[Donutsmandm55]

so for free elective i can even pick gen ed courses?

"Free Electives are courses that can be selected from a large range of offerings, often any non-General Education course, but possibly limited to courses offered by specified faculties, or in specified subject areas"
