Students undertaking a Major in either English Education or Social Science Education should substitute CUR2210 for Major Content Study 9 in Semester 5. Major Content Study 9 should replace CUR4210 in Semester 8 (students are not required to complete CUR4210). 3. Students undertaking a Major in Music Education or Drama Education should complete Curriculum Major 2 in Semester 6. 4. Students undertaking a Major in Music Education or Drama Education will do an extra Major Content Study unit in Semester 4, instead of CUR3211 in Semester 6 (students are not required to do CUR3211). 5. Students undertaking a Major in Physical Sciences Education must take MAT1137 in Semester 1, and then should substitute Minor Content Study 4 for the Major Content Study in Semester 5. They will take Major Content Study 9 in Semester 8. 6.
