While a stream defines the primary disciplinary focus of your course (such as Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering), a major is an optional area of specialisation within your course (both Civil and Mechanical Engineers may choose to major in Environmental Engineering, for example).
You can find course planners to help you plan your studies in the course and unit of study portal (CUSP).
If you're a current student, log in to Canvas to see which majors align with particular engineering streams.
If you would like to upgrade to a Space major, apply using the changing stream form. You need an annual average mark of at least 75.
If you would like to change your stream, you will need to apply online.
