Also, in which year do you need to choose your major?

Thanks

Depends on the uni, but most unis let you double major in the BA

Oh ok. If you're doing a combined degree, do you have one major in each area? If that makes sense...:S

Yeah usually, although it may be possible to do two majors in one

B Engineering / B Arts and I only get to do 1 major in Arts, although if I can squeeze in 12 extra credits for arts I can double major. I'm intending to do Modern Greek as my major.

I get two majors in Arts

I'm doing a double degree (Bachelor of Creative Arts/Bachelor of Arts) with a triple major (Creative Writing with the BCA and English Lit & History with the BA).

It's pretty sweet.

So should I be worried if I don't know yet what I'm going to major in? Or do you not have to decide until 2nd year?

You usually don't have to decide till second year, but you will need to do junior units for your major in first year. Usually in first year you do up to 4 areas, and then specialise
