Majors
Students are required to obtain a certain number of credits per year for the course that they are registered for. You will find this information in the faculty prospectuses.
Degree Majors consist of 120 credits in a main subject taken from first to third year.
“General” degree programmes normally require 2 majors. The advantage of this is that the student could pursue postgraduate study in either of the 2 majors. This is useful if the student wants back-up options or if he/she is unsure of their future career path.
Non-general courses or professional courses (pharmacy/accounting/law etc) already have a majors allocated to them.
