A–Z of subjects

The A-Z subject list includes over 140 subjects that can be taken as part of a bachelor's degree. When you select a subject, you will be taken to a page with detailed information about:

  • The qualifications available for that subject
  • The papers (courses) you can study
  • Related employability and career options

For a bachelor's degree, you usually choose a major subject (your main area of specialisation). Many degrees also let you add an optional minor subject, along with papers from other subjects, giving you flexibility to tailor your studies to your interests.

If you are not sure what you want to study, check out broader subject areas to help identify programmes that match your interests.
