## Your undergraduate journey

### First year

Your first year is your chance to explore, whether it's your chosen path, or a brand new one. Alongside compulsory subjects, you can choose from a wide variety of disciplines. You can even study overseas in your first winter break.

### Second year

In second year, you'll focus by choosing your major, if you haven't already, and can also choose to follow a 'breadth track'. That's how an Arts student can qualify for the Doctor of Medicine, or a Commerce student can become an engineer.

### Third year

By third year, you'll achieve a high level of specialisation in your chosen major. You'll be ready to take part in a ‘capstone’ experience, aimed at consolidating your learning and preparing you for your career.
