This page links to lists of subjects (’units’ in university-speak) available at Macquarie University. I wonder how much sense this makes to prospective students? It may be even worse for international students. Australian students will probably be able to make sense of things like ECON, POL and PHIL.

It’s probably not helping with search engine indexing either, since many search engines use the text in links to help index content.

It might be better to use the longer form, e.g.

• Aboriginal early childhood (instead of ABEC)
• Modern Greek (instead of MGK)
• Environmental life sciences (instead of ELS).

Grouping the links by subject areas might help students find what they are looking for. Using sub-headings to label each area will give a bit of visual relief to the page as well.
