Course code: 0051 Clayton campus
The fourth-year honours course is available in all the science disciplines
listed in this handbook. In special circumstances, the dean, acting on the
recommendation of the heads of departments, may approve candidature embracing
more than one discipline. Students having successfully completed the first
three years, ie having qualified for the BSc pass degree, may apply to enter.
To be eligible for entry into the honours year, students should obtain a
distinction grade average (70 per cent) or above in 24 points of third-year
subjects in the area of study in which they wish to complete honours. Students
who have obtained an average of 65 to 69 per cent in their main third-year
sequence may also be eligible for consideration if they have also obtained an
average of at least 65 per cent in their remaining third-year subjects.
Departments are able to cater substantially for the interests of individual
students, although there may be compulsory elements to be completed by all
students in the one discipline. The relevant regulation simply states that the
work to be completed by a candidate will be as prescribed by the relevant head
of department.
The graduates of the BSc designated degrees who successfully complete the
honours year will be eligible for the award of the following degrees:
