I'm going to most likely do civil structural at syd uni

But if after the first or so year, I decide that I don't want to specialise in structural but in something else, is it possible for me to change?

If not then I'd do flexible but it seems a bit of a waste of time seeing as I know I'm going to do civil but just not 100% sure on the specialisation yet.

thanks guys

You start your civil spec electives in 2nd year so you can change until then (and even after if you dont mind overloading a semester) as long as you had the uai when you enrolled or your WAM is > 65%

Info on changing streams - http://www.civil.usyd.edu.au/current/undergraduate/enrolment.shtml (2/3 down page).

Specialisation for civil streams starts in 3rd year, so you have plenty of time to decide.
