Majors Day

It is an event that University College organizes for second semester students to consider what they should take as a major.

450-900 students attend on each campus, depending on the semester. All of the colleges/departments are invited to give a small presentation introducing their specializations. The date is generally the 7th week of the semester (unless there are holidays), and are held on different dates on each campus.

It is a full day event, and students are required to attend approximately 4 hours of presentations, so they are not expected to attend their other classes.
