Changing majors, minors & specialisations

Your program is made of units grouped together to form majors, minors and/or specialisations.

Each program has different requirements depending on your commencement year, which determine the majors, minors or specialisations you are required to complete to be awarded your degree/s. Depending on your program requirements, you may or may not need to identify a major, minor or specialisation for your degree.

You can check if you are required to complete any majors, minors and/or specialisations, and their rules, by searching the Programs & Courses website. If you require additional assistance choosing you major contact your Academic College.

Students are responsible for registering their majors, minors and specialisations themselves, before they are due to graduate.
