Description

Honours is a prestigious program comprising a fourth year of coursework and performance research after the completion of a Bachelor of Performing Arts. Students choose a topic and undertake research while working with a carefully selected supervisor, who provides individual guidance and academic counselling.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of the honours program, students will have extended their undergraduate knowledge in a specific area of the performing arts through in-depth study of dramatic theory contextualised through theatre history, research methodology, and performance analysis. They will have built upon their skills in the areas of research, analysis, writing and performance communication.

Entry requirements

Students must have:

  • completed a degree, with a major (48 points or the equivalent) in the intended honours discipline
  • obtained at least a distinction average (70 per cent) in the honours discipline(s) to the value of 24 points at second and third year level, of which at least 18 points must be at third year level.

Contact the relevant school for any additional or special requirements.

Students qualified to enter an honours program must normally do so within five years of the date on which they completed their undergraduate studies.

Structure
