Find your focus

Our degree structure allows you to follow your passions and to think outside the box..

A key way we deliver this opportunity is by offering a range of majors or specialisations within your degree's core zone. Majors and specialisations are specific sequences of study that allow you to explore your interests in greater depth.

In many of our degrees, it is possible to take a major in a flex zone. There is a very broad set you can choose from, as long as you meet the prerequisites.

Majors

Choose from 80 majors in areas such as anthropology, entrepreneurship, human movement, marketing, public relations and social media, and software technology. Degrees such as our Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Environment offer majors.

Specialisations

At undergraduate level, specialisations offer an even greater focus of study than a major. Choose from five specialisations in our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Choose from 18 specialisations at postgraduate level in areas such as education, accounting, finance, marketing and engineering.

How do they work

Majors and specialisations consist of a specified set of units and a total of 40, 80 or 120 credit points, depending on the course. Your major or specialisation is recorded on your testamur and academic transcript.
