Choosing a second major
The flexible structure of an undergraduate course allows you the option of including a second major. You have the choice to either nominate your second major when you first enrol in the course or delay it until your second year. For a major to be recorded on your academic record it must be nominated before the requirements of the course are completed.
To fully understand the structure of an undergraduate course read the course structure information and the Undergraduate Degree Course Rules.
The following example illustrates how Science Communication can be included as second major in an undergraduate degree course.
