Easy UniMelb subjects: good for your WAM

Subjects students say are manageable come first, then ones with no final exam and few class hours.

How we rank

• What students say comes first: the verdict of each public review summary (hard or easy, heavy or light workload), our own ratings once 3 students have rated a subject, and shared grades.
• Then the Handbook: the final exam’s share, hurdles, weekly class hours, the number of assessment tasks and the level.
• A subject nobody has reviewed is ranked on the Handbook alone, is marked that way, and never goes above one reviewers call easy (or hard).
• Left out: subjects not running in 2026, graduate subjects, pass/fail subjects and ones your degree can’t count.
• This is guidance, not a promise. Your own strengths matter more, so read the subject page before you enrol.
