A major is a structured sequence of units in a particular discipline or field of study. There are single majors and double majors.

A single major consists of eight units from the same disciplinary field, normally in the following sequence:

• two Level 1 units
• two Level 2 units
• four Level 3 units

The structure of some single majors is different to the above structure. A common alternative is:

• two Level 1 units
• three Level 2 units
• three Level 3 units

A double major consists of 14 units with, normally:

• two Level 1 units that provide the foundation for
• four Level 2 units and
• eight Level 3 units

Each undergraduate bachelor degree has its own degree-specific majors. If you want to study a second major, you can choose one from any of the UWA bachelor degrees.

Note: there may be some restrictions for students studying certain majors - refer to the online UWA Handbook for full-details on majors, units and course rules.
