A fourth or honours year is available on the Clayton campus only, offering an opportunity for more specialised or advanced work in politics and leading to the degree of BA(Hons). The department strongly recommends that the Arts faculty honours entry requirements be seen very much as minimum requirements only and that intending honours students complete a further eight points of work in politics at either second or third-year level. Further advice for honours students is included with the course outlines at second and third years and in the department's honours booklet.
Fourth-year honours students take twenty-four points of coursework in politics, do a general paper, and write a thesis. They may do fewer politics seminars if they are taking a combined honours degree. All are strongly advised to begin thesis work during the long vacation preceding their entry into the fourth year. Mid-year entry is not normally offered by this department.
