Description
Honours is a prestigious program comprising a fourth year of coursework and research after the completion of a relevant undergraduate pass degree. Students choose a topic and undertake research working with a carefully selected supervisor who provides individual guidance and academic counselling.
Outcomes
Honours students extend their undergraduate knowledge in a specific area of the arts and social sciences through in-depth research, building upon their skills in the areas of research, analysis, writing and other forms of 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 School of Applied Media and Social Sciences 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
This course consists of 48 points of study, including a thesis.
Students complete one discipline specific coursework unit, one school based coursework unit plus two dissertation units.
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).
Contact the honours coordinator from the relevant school for discipline-specific requirements.
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 per cent in each discipline) alongside coursework chosen from the two component disciplines.
