For your bachelor’s degree, you’ll need to choose a major subject. This is what you’ll specialise in. With most degrees, you can optionally add a minor subject (which is like a mini specialisation), and a mix of papers from other subjects.

When you select a subject below, you’ll be taken to the department website that specialises in that subject.

If you already have a university degree, you may be more interested in our postgraduate qualifications.
