Apart from single-discipline degree programmes, some departments offer the option of enrolling in a major/minor programme to students who have been admitted to government-funded full-time Bachelor's Degree programmes. You will enrol in a single-discipline degree programme and will later be invited to decide on minor options.
A Major/Minor combination is a programme in which the major component is in one discipline and the minor component is in another. Major programmes are developed from related single-discipline degree programmes. Minor programmes are either a collection of Compulsory and Elective Subjects, or Elective Subjects only in a particular discipline, totalling 18 credits, which does not apply to the Minor programmes already approved. Other than choosing a Minor programme, you can also opt for a collection of free Electives in any combination of disciplines in conjunction with a Major programme. At the end of your studies, if you have fulfilled the requirements of a Major programme and a Minor programme, you will graduate with a Major and a Minor. If you take free Electives in place of a Minor, you will only graduate with a Major.
