A minor is a recognised selection of papers in a particular subject area, and normally requires the completion of five required papers worth a total of 90 points. The requirements for a minor can be found on the relevant subject page
Taking a minor subject is not compulsory, and you may find that another combination of papers might be more useful.
It is possible to specify a minor subject normally associated with a completely different degree (e.g. Management, a Commerce subject, may be taken as a minor subject in a BA degree). If you choose to do this, you will need to ensure you take the right amount of papers within your degree's Schedule.
You can take a minor subject within the following degrees:
- Bachelor of Arts (BA)
- Bachelor of Arts and Commerce (BACom)
- Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc)
- Bachelor of Commerce (BCom)
- Bachelor of Commerce and Science (BComSc)
