To provide depth of knowledge, students are required to study a major subject. Most students will pursue a single major programme. However, students may apply for and if selected, read for a major/minor, double major, or double degree combination (see the rules & regulations regarding major/minor, double major & double degrees).

For a single major, students read their major modules from a single programme. Students are required to read 50 – 60 % of their modular credits in the major subject (For BHSc-Medicine, refer to Pengiran Anak Puteri Rashidah Sa’adatul Bolkiah Institute of Health Sciences (PAPRSBIHS) rules & regulations). (For specific Faculty and Programme requirements, see the relevant rules & regulations of the Faculties & Programmes)
