  • Add it to your resume – Employers are looking for graduates who have skills in a variety of areas. Two majors will expand your career prospects and help you stand out amongst the crowd.
  • Study your passion alongside your interests – Do you love History? English? Archaeology? Pursue a career while studying something else you love! Your second major can be from any other School across the university.
  • No additional time – Choosing two majors instead of one won’t add any additional time to your undergraduate degree. A standard bachelor degree consists of the same amount of units either way.
  • Discover what you want to do while you’re doing it – Not sure what career you want when you graduate? It’s very common for undergraduate students to be unsure. Choosing two majors in different areas will give you the opportunity to explore multiple interests and see what fits best. Majors can be switched until the end of your first year without adding any time onto your degree.

"Studying abroad has become one of the most amazing experiences of my life. In the beginning it was tough, but once I found my feet, everything fell in to place and I enjoyed the best consecutive six months of my life. I have made amazing friends from all walks of life and found my passion for medieval history and found many skills I possess that I had never known about. I grew up as an individual and came to realise how capable I was to fulfil many tasks and face situations." Abby Donkin, Bachelor of Arts, 2013
