Why do Honours?
Honours offers students the opportunity to spend an additional year (full time; two years part time) pursuing studies in their area of interest at a deeper level than the BA allows for. It involves taking:
• an Honours Coursework Unit (24 credit points) comprised of several integrated components ; and
• an Honours Dissertation Unit (24 credit points) in which the student writes a dissertation of 14,000 - 16,000 words on a topic of his or her own choice under the supervision of a staff member.
Honours is a pathway for students who wish to undertake a Postgraduate research such as MA (Honours) or PhD. For students not seeking to undertake an advanced degree Honours can hone superior research, analytical, writing, and communication skills that are transferable to other endeavours. A degree in Honours is well respected in the job market.
Period of Candidature
The period of Honours enrolment is one year full-time or two years part-time. Students may only commence the Honours program in first semester. Application information, closing dates and related information are available from the Student Centre.
