Apply to change
Should you need to revise your program of study, change your dissertation title or supervisors or take leave of absence or cancel your enrolment, please complete the form below:
Application and admission
There are two ways a bachelor degree may be awarded with Honours:
- On the basis of academic achievement in a bachelor degree that involves four years or more of study.
- On the basis of an additional year of study following the completion of a three-year bachelor degree.
During the application process, the following will be taken into consideration to ensure students are well equipped to undertake an honours degree:
- the comparability between your bachelor degree and the related Griffith bachelor honours degree
- completion of your undergraduate degree
- length of time that has elapsed since completing your bachelor degree
- academic record
- availability of supervision and resources to undertake your Honours dissertation.
In some Honours programs, quotas apply and not all qualified applicants can be offered a place. Application requirements and admission processes also vary slightly between honours programs.
Honours research guidelines
Ethical clearance
If you intend to use human or animal subjects as part of your research you must discuss the issue of ethics clearance with your supervisor as soon as practicable. It is recommended that students allow approximately eight weeks for the processing of ethics clearance.
Animal research
All research involving animals or animal tissue will need to be considered and cleared by the Griffith University Ethics Committee for Experimentation on Animals prior to the commencement of work involving animals.
Human research
Much of the research involving humans requires the approval of the Griffith University Human Research Ethics Committee. In order to determine whether your research will require such approval, you should consult with your supervisor and the Griffith University Guide for Research Involving Human Participation.
Ethics guidelines and application forms for Honours research can be obtained from the Griffith Office for Research.
your pathway to a PhD
Your Honours degree is a direct pathway into a PhD or other research degree at Griffith.
A research degree is a postgraduate degree which primarily involves completing a supervised project of original research. Completing a research program is your opportunity to make a substantial contribution to, and develop a critical understanding of, a specific discipline or area of professional practice. The most common research program is a Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD which is the highest level of education that can be achieved. It will also give you the title of Dr.
Griffith University provides all of these benefits to our research candidates as well as offering generous scholarships covering living expenses and tuition.
A research degree at Griffith will broaden your horizons. More than building specific research skills, a Griffith research degree will seek to develop you into an agile, resilient member of the knowledge economy.
