How to choose your university major
Choosing a major is a decision that stays with you for years; here are practical steps to make it wisely.
Choosing a university major is one of the most important decisions a student makes, shaping their studies and career for years. To decide wisely, start with your own interests and abilities: the subjects you excel at and enjoy, and the kind of work you can see yourself doing.
- Read the academic programme description of each department: courses, practical training and learning outcomes.
- Learn about the career fields open to graduates and the demand for them.
- Compare admission requirements, grade thresholds and tuition fees.
- Visit the university and talk to the departments before you decide.
The university introduces its nine departments across three colleges, with each department’s goals and its graduates’ career fields, on the Colleges page.
