Choosing an Area of Study

As you are now at University, you must choose an Area of Study.*

Choose a Major from the following: Defence, Divination, Enchantment, History, Transfiguration, or Wizards' Agriculture. This will be your main area of study, and your character should attend all classes for this section.

If your character would like to study an additional subject, he or she may add a minor from the following: Defence, Divination, Enchantment, History, Transfiguration, or Wizards' Agriculture. Your character should attend at least one class from this section.

You may also choose to specialize in something. In that case, choose a class from your major and make it your specialty. Also, remember to attend class.

You can, of course, choose to take any class for the fun of it.


Area of Study Examples:

• Character A - Major: Divination.
  
• Character B - Major: Divination. Minor: History.
  
• Character C - Major: Divination. Specialty: Arithmancy.
