What is a Major?A major sequence consists of 48 points worth of units (subjects)

Typical Structure of a Major:

Year Points Taken or Points Taken

First Year 12 12Second Year 18 or 12

Third Year 18 or 24

A double major sequence in a science area of study comprises 72 points of

science units in the same, or a closely-related, area of study with no more

than 12 points of those units at level one and at least 36 points of those units

at level three.

What is a Double Major?

1stYear BIO1011 and either BIO1022 or BIO1042

2nd Year: BIO2011,BIO2040and one of BIO2022,BIO2050, BIO2181or BIO2231

Important to check if a second year prerequisite is

needed for 3rdyear units. This applies for all

disciplines and majors
