From 2021, as part of the revised BSc program, minors are available to study for all BSc students. 

Students may complete one or more minors. Courses taken in the minors may be counted towards the minimum of 32 units of science courses required for the program.

Students cannot undertake a minor in the same discipline area as their major or extended major.

Please also refer to the revised 2021 BSc program rules (PDF, 146KB) regarding completing courses towards more than 1 plan (major, extended major, minor) and substituting courses. 

Example combinations:

• Physics major and Applied Mathematics minor
• Physics extended major and Applied Mathematics minor

Students may complete one or more UQ minors. Courses taken in the UQ minors count towards the 16 units of general elective courses available in the program.

Where the program is undertaken with more than one plan, any course listed more than once must be substituted in one plan by a course at the same level or higher from the course list for that plan, or from the BSc course list (excluding courses in the UQ minors list). If a course is compulsory in both plans, you may select which plan it will count towards.

Regardless of any possible cross-listing between plans, to meet the program requirements for the BSc program, each:

• major must include 8 units of courses level 3 or higher,
• extended major must contain 12 units of courses at level 3 or higher, and
• minor must contain 4 units of courses at level 2 or higher

taken from, and counting only towards, that plan’s course list.

For the BSc component of dual programs, students are able to complete one of the following combinations: 

• Single major 
• Extended major 
• Single major + minor

Please refer to the 'Programs and Courses' page for the dual program to view the dual program rules, course list and study planner.
