Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering
From 2018 onwards, SOLA5054 will no longer be offered and students should refer to the table below to ensure you are enrolling in the correct course(s):
| SOLA4012 completed? | SOLA5054 completed? | Course(s) left to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | No | SOLA5057* |
| No | Yes | SOLA4012** |
| No | No | SOLA4012 and SOLA5057* |
| Yes | Yes | No changes |
* Note – If you previously completed SOLA5057 as an elective. Recommendation – SOLA5057 is a substitution for SOLA5054, this means you have an elective left to complete.
** You will still need to complete SOLA4012, despite the current exclusion between SOLA4012 and SOLA5054. You should be able to enrol yourself via myUNSW, you may contact us if you experience any problems.
