Minor subjects

Minors enable you to increase the breadth of your degree and enhance your learning outcomes with additional knowledge, attributes and capabilities. 

The minor must be in a different subject area than your major. 

If you are studying a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Agribusiness or Bachelor of Information Sciences degree you may have the opportunity to include a minor subject from a wide range of specialisations. If you successfully complete the courses required for your selected minor, it will appear on your academic transcript.

The Bachelor of Communication and Bachelor of Design with Honours also allow minors but only from within those qualifications.

If you are doing a double major and would also like to add a minor, you may have to complete additional credits depending on relevant major and minor requirements.

An indication of the minors that can be completed on each campus and by distance is provided below.  You will need to confirm the availability of relevant courses when planning your programme of study.
