Syllabus divisions (5)

I believe the answer is:
units
'syllabus divisions' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for units that I've seen before include "Individual things as parts of a whole" , "Shops in a mall, for example" , "Individual things or groups" , "Single undivided wholes" , "Apparatus similar to barbecue" .)
