Yup you can take max 48 units of 1st year courses all through your 4 years. So if you took 30 units of 1st year courses in 1st year, you can take 18 more units in your remaining years for your honours degree.

It's definitely 48.

Some of my 1st year marks technically don't even count : (

First Year Units
You can take upto 48 units. This is not the same as 16 courses as some courses are worth more. Hope this straightens things out.
