The Degrees offered by the UWA Business School are structured around majors. These allow you to follow your particular interests, and to plan for a specialised area of employment. Each major involves taking a number of related units at level 2 and level 3, usually six but in some cases more and you must do at least one major in your degree. You can add another major or majors to give a double or possibly triple major. Most students elect to complete a double major in order to increase the spread and depth of their knowledge. When you start your degree you may not know which majors you want to pursue. Do not worry: You do not have to choose your majors until the start of your second year of studies and will be encouraged to select level 1 units that relate to your interests and the majors that you might consider for later years. It is a good idea to keep your options open. Level 1 Core Units
