For the 2nd year do i have to choose between a major or 1st sub major, because it has:
3rd semester Accounting for Business Combinations
Cost Management Systems
2nd Major or 1st sub-major
2nd Major or 1st sub-major

and 4th semester is the same with 2 subjects then 2nd Major or 1st sub-major
2nd Major or 1st sub-major

What is the difference between Major and sub major ? are they both the same because i still have to study 4 subjects a semester?

for the 5th semester they said i got 3 electives exempted, so does that mean 5th semester i only have: 2 subjects?

then 6th semester i have two subjects then it says 2nd major/2nd sub-major/elective, so this means i choose 1 sub major and only 1 elective??
I don't understand does it mean the 2nd sub major is only 6cp which = 1 subject?

1 Major is 48 credit points (cp), that's 8 subjects (6cp each), 4 subjects each semester, so 2 semesters for 1 major.

A major is full expertise in an area, a sub-major is part expertise (you only do half the required subjects).

1 sub-major is 24 cp, 4 subjects (6cp each), that'll last you 1 semester.

With a single degree (such as B.Bus) you can do:

core (compulsory) + major + 2x sub-majors

or

core (compulsory) + major + 2nd major

or

core (compulsory) + major + 1x sub-major + 4 elective subjects.

or

core (compulsory) + major + 8 elective subjects.

The 3 subject issue I have no idea what you mean.

The rest I think I've explained.
