CSE Course and Major Advisors

CSE Course and major advisors play a vital role in advising both current and prospective students about their JCU science course.

For example, if you need advice about your study plan, choosing electives, or which subjects to enrol in, please contact your major advisor or degree coordinator. Find the best person to contact in this flyer: CSE Course and Major Advisors.

Detailed study plans for courses offered by the College of Science and Engineering are available online.

If you need advice about your study plan, choosing electives, or which subjects to enrol in, please contact your major advisor or degree coordinator (CSE Course and Major Advisors). For elective subject options please also refer to the Study Area guide (2026 JCU STUDY AREA GUIDE — College of Science & Engineering).

These guides provide a listing of CSE subjects, arranged by subject area (major/stream/discipline) indicating in which trimester or block study period subjects are scheduled for 2026.  This is useful for all CSE students, including Study Abroad and Exchange students.

Succeeding in intensives – a student guide

In Trimester 2, Level 2, 3, and 5 subjects in several disciplines (AQ, BZ, EA, EV, and MB) are delivered primarily as two-week ‘Intensives’ designed for completely immersive and hands-on learning experiences (with some study and assessment before and/or after). This guide provides important information to help you decide on and prepare for subjects delivered in Trimester 2.

What is a “reasonable attempt"?

In all CSE subjects, the subject outline specifies that one of the requirements to pass is that you “Submit a reasonable attempt at all items of assessment.” This document helps students understand the main principles behind what counts as a “reasonable attempt.”
