Majors or Areas of Specialisation

A ‘major’ is a group or sequence of six related subjects selected from one subject area, or from associated areas of study.

In some programs, majors require certain subjects as specified. The rules for majors may be waived from time to time by the Dean.

A ‘double major’ is a group of twelve subjects in the undergraduate schedule, from one subject area or from associated areas of study.

Recommendations about majors, double majors, or other subject groups, which may be of greatest interest or value to individuals, can be obtained from Program Advisors, or from academic staff teaching in subject areas of interest to the students.
