Majors, extended majors, minors and specialisations

As you start your course, you might find that there’s an area of study that really excites or inspires you. Majors, extended majors and minors are available in undergraduate comprehensive courses or where you have enough free electives. They enable you to concentrate on your area of interest from day one or decide on your preferred major at a later stage. Majors have eight units studied over three years, minors have four units studied over at least two years and extended majors have 12 units studied over three years.

Specialisations, available in specialist courses only, allow you to dive deeper into the particular area of study that interests you. This occurs from day one of your course and enables you to truly pursue your passion.
