When do I choose my major?
Be aware that some majors require careful planning from first year (eg Psychology and Economics majors in the Bachelor of Arts). You should refer to the Handbook to check major requirements.
- In your first year
-
You will begin to explore your major options by enrolling in subjects from a range of discipline areas that interest you. If you already have an end goal in mind, you can use a goal-oriented approach to work backwards.
- In your second year
-
You will narrow down your options and begin to focus on fewer discipline areas. Some courses may require you to nominate your major at this time in order to enrol in core level two major subjects.
- By your third year
-
You must have nominated your major to ensure you meet your course requirements.
