All your interests in one degree
Dive into the shared pool of flexible undergraduate options curated by you.
Maybe you want to work in finance but love the idea of studying archaeology. Perhaps you are set on a Bachelor of Science but have always been interested in learning about design.
What if you didn’t have to choose between the two? At the University of Sydney, you can follow all your interests and create a degree unique to you.
These degrees allow you to explore a range of interests across diverse disciplines through access to the shared pool of majors and minors.
At the University of Sydney, through some of our undergraduate degrees, you have the flexibility to study a second major or minor across different disciplines. This allows you to broaden your expertise by selecting a major or minor from the shared pool.
The possibilities are (almost) endless – the choice is yours. You could graduate with a bachelor’s degree in economics or commerce and a major (or minor) in history or modern Greek studies. You could study a Bachelor of Music and major in computer science or criminology.
You can choose from over 100 majors or minors in the shared pool. This lists majors, minors, and electives available to all students undertaking a liberal studies degree and select other degrees. You can browse the available majors and minors and build your course based on your interests and what appeals to you.
Perhaps you’re not sure which area of study you want to pursue, or you want to keep your future career options open in two vastly different fields – either way, you can study them both with one undergraduate degree.
Selecting a minor or major from the shared pool allows you to combine two areas of study that would not otherwise be studied together, such as a Bachelor of Psychology with a minor in wildlife conservation.
If an international career is your goal, you could study a Bachelor of Economics and combine it with a major in Italian, Chinese or Japanese studies to boost your employability in an overseas market.
You may have interests that intertwine with your dream career that are not in the same faculty. Take the University of Sydney’s alumnus Elysee as an example – she combined her studies in business with a major in French to diversify her degree and to develop complementary but different discipline expertise.
The shared pool of majors and minors is available to students studying a range of undergraduate degrees and any combined Bachelor of Advanced Studies degree.
