Course structure

Course requirements

Students must complete 48 points, including a thesis, to qualify for the honours degree of the Bachelor of Arts. Honours studies may be taken as single honours (a single discipline over one year of full-time study), double honours (two disciplines over two years of full-time study) or combined honours (two disciplines over one year of full-time study). Students should speak with the honours coordinator from the relevant school for discipline specific requirements.

Combined honours

Combined honours may be undertaken, provided that all honours requirements have been met in both disciplines. Application to undertake combined honours must be made with the support of the school honours coordinators of both disciplines. Combined honours normally take the form of a joint dissertation (50% in each discipline) alongside coursework chosen from the two component disciplines.
