Science Majors

During Science Majors, we invite you to confirm, change or discuss your study options with a Subject Adviser and/or a Programme Adviser.

This year we have extended the scope of Science Majors to show you what types of the careers your course choices and degrees can support.

Science Majors showcases a wide range of industries tailored to each major, helping you explore potential career pathways. Alumni panel sessions will be held each day, giving you the opportunity to to get practical advice and hear real-world perspectives from graduates who are now in the workforce. 

Towards the end of your first year of study, you will need to choose the subjects that will shape your Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Science conjoint.

Confirming your major(s) or specialisation early ensures that you're on the right track to complete your programme on time and with the subject areas that meet your goals.

If you're unsure about which major(s) or specialisation to declare, then this is an ideal opportunity to come in and discuss your options with one of our major specialists.

This discussion will help you make an informed decision that will help to shape your future.

I have confirmed my major/specialisation. Can I change it at a later date?

Yes, you can change your major at any point in your degree provided you are eligible.

Please note: It will not be possible to change to Biomedical Science, Food Science and Nutrition yourself in SSO, as these subjects have higher entry requirements.

If I'm still undecided do I have to make a decision this week?

No, you don’t have to make a decision, however we would encourage you to come along to have a chat.
