Area of interest explained

What is an Area of Interest?

Answer ID 3054 | Last updated on 15/04/2026 11.28 AM

As a new undergraduate student you may be unsure which major/s you wish to study. You may have chosen a broad ‘Area of Interest’ when you first applied to the University, rather than selecting a specific major.

You will need to choose a major when you first enrol in your course on studentConnect. If you change your mind later, you can always change your major/s anytime prior to graduation, as long as you have completed the required units and met the rules of your course and major/s.

You may wish to contact your Student Advising Office first, as they can advise on your choice of major/s and help you to create a study plan that will meet the requirements of your major/s and course.
