The following information is designed to help you plan your enrolment to meet this goal. Further information can be found in the official rules and course lists under the Program Rules and Requirements link for each program in the Programs and Courses website: https://my.uq.edu.au/programs-courses/program.html?acad_prog=2338
You may have to swap courses in the plan to allow you to finish with your desired major/s - please check prerequisites and semester offerings at https://my.uq.edu.au/programs-courses/. You are not required to submit this program plan for approval. However, if you have any questions or concerns about meeting degree requirements, especially when you are nearing the end of your program, please contact the BEL Faculty for advice.
