Our flexible Advanced Science degree allows you to declare or change your major in Stage two of study, so you can sample several different courses before making a decision. If you’re enrolling and still unsure of your major, follow these steps:
1. Look at the list of majors available in your degree;
2. Eliminate the majors you’re definitely not interested in;
3. Choose first-year courses common to the majors that interest you. That way, you’ll be keeping your options open.
