Some units require you to undertake another unit concurrently or have completed that unit previously. The unit required to be completed concurrently or previously is known as a ‘Co-requisite’.

Co-requisites are necessary because completing the unit requires you to have additional knowledge that can only be acquired by undertaking the co-requisite. For example, LAWS4102 Criminal Law has the co-requisite LAWS4101 Foundations of Law and Lawyering.

If a unit has a co-requisite it will be listed in the ‘Unit Rules’ in the online UWA Handbook entry for each unit. If you need advice on co-requisites then contact a student adviser from your assigned Student Advising Office displayed on your studentConnect.
