Quota-restricted majors

The Immunology, Microbiology and Pharmacology majors have a limited number of places available due to restricted laboratory space. Selection into these majors is based on academic merit.

Students who are selected into a quota-restricted major may not be notifed until late February for semester 1 commencement, and late June for semester 2 commencement. For this reason, students will need to nominate a second major.

Studying two majors

If a student intends to study two majors and the amount of credit awarded for each major is different, the student will be awarded the lower of the two (eg. Republic Polytechnic Diploma in Biotechnology - Biotech Enterprise studying majors in Genetics and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology would receive 150 points of credit).

Note: Students may not be able to complete two majors if there are substantial clases with lectures and practical classes.
