Can I change my application if I apply for the wrong major in studying in Australia?

Studying in Australia allows you to change majors.

1. The conditions for changing majors are relatively loose.

Australia’s admission requirements are relatively loose compared to China and other countries for studying abroad, not only in terms of score requirements, but also in terms of changing majors. Many courses in Australia are offered for students who change majors. As long as students provide relevant materials to prove that they meet the school's admission requirements, they can successfully get an admission letter (offer). To put it simply, most majors in business majors can accept changing majors, so whether they are liberal arts or science majors in China, they can be considered. Business majors cover a wide range of areas. Accounting, finance, logistics management, human resource management, marketing, business information systems, tourism/hotel/exhibition management, international trade/international business, etc. are all very popular majors.

For students who like liberal arts, they can choose master's programs in literature, sociology, mass media, translation, journalism, education, etc. However, it should be noted that the English requirements for Australian liberal arts majors are often higher than those for other majors, so it is recommended that students have a relatively good English foundation and language ability.

For students who like science, the choices are relatively narrow. Engineering, science, medicine, architecture and other science and engineering majors all require a relevant undergraduate background. But don’t be discouraged. For IT majors in some Australian universities, students without an undergraduate background can apply. Students who like computers, the Internet, and games/mobile phone applications can choose to apply for related courses.

It is not difficult to see from the above that it is relatively easy for science students to change majors, but considering the employment and immigration prospects after graduation, everyone should be cautious when changing majors.

2. After arriving in Australia, you can change your major on campus, but the course level will not change.

Whether it is your first time applying to Australia, or you are applying to change majors on campus after arriving in Australia, you need to meet the admission requirements of the new course. If you arrive in Australia and find that the course you applied for is not what you want, or you have changed your mind, for example, you applied for a master's degree in marketing before and want to switch to a master's degree in accounting when you get there, you can apply to the school's International Department to change your major. Usually you only need to fill out a Change Course Application Form (Change Course Form), and after getting approval, you can successfully change your major.

Two points need to be reminded here:

If you have already started studying in the main course, and the new major you are applying for is not related to your previous studies, you may not be able to get any credit exemptions. , then you need to learn it from scratch from the next semester, and the time and tuition spent before will be wasted. Therefore, although it is easy to change majors in Australia, I hope everyone will choose carefully when applying.

If you change majors on campus but do not change course levels, you do not need to notify the Immigration Bureau when changing majors. However, if you graduate early or postpone due to changing majors, you need to pay attention to the visa terms. If you graduate early, you need to leave the country as soon as possible after graduation or extend your visa. If you graduate late, you need to go through the visa extension procedures before graduation.
