Making up one third of your subjects, a major is the subject area you’ll focus on during your undergraduate degree. Each degree has a different set of majors. For example, if you’re studying a Bachelor of Design, you might choose to major in Architecture or Construction. Or in a Bachelor of Commerce, you might pick a major in Management or Finance. In some of our courses, you can choose to do a double major.

In your first year you can focus on your major straight away or explore other subjects before deciding on what major you want to pursue.

Designed to support your introduction to University, discovery subjects are core first-year subjects within each undergraduate degree that offer varying experiences and delivery modes. These subjects connect your studies to outside the classroom, showing you how your degree can address real-world problems.

Breadth study

In addition to the subjects offered in your core area of study, you can also take subjects from other disciplines – like marketing, genetics or philosophy – or test out subjects you’re thinking of pursuing in a graduate degree – like law, development studies or urban design. 

Breadth allows you to explore beyond your study area to build an interdisciplinary skillset, so you’ll be capable of critical thinking, problem-solving, communication and leadership in a vastly broad range of professions.

Concurrent diplomas

You have the option to study an extra qualification alongside your degree. If you’re a passionate musician, programmer or mathematician, or have an interest in languages, you can enrol in one of four concurrent diplomas alongside your bachelors degree - computing, languages, mathematics or music.
