Study areas

A second major is a set of related units in a particular study area. You may be able to choose one from another area of the University if your course rules allow. To find out, go to your study plan: if you have a complimentary studies option block, search using the code in brackets above the unit list and if it exists you will be able to select it on plan.

The introductory units in each second major have no prerequisites. Later units may have earlier units as prerequisites. Depending on class timetabling it may not be possible to complete all units in a university wide second major. Consult with your course coordinator and relevant discipline coordinators prior to undertaking interfaculty studies.

Individual units completed in a university wide second major will appear on your academic transcript but it will only be recorded as a successfully completed study area if you have a). selected it as an option on your study plan and b). completed the correct number of credit points.
