An Honours offers the opportunity to develop your research and professional skills further after completing a Bachelor’s degree

An Honours year provides the satisfaction of advanced study, a close supervision relationship with an academic, the ability to engage in specialised and extended research, and enhanced job opportunities. It is also a pathway to a postgraduate research degree such as a Masters by Research or PhD.

We hold an Honours information session in week 4 of Trimesters 1 and 2 – stay tuned for more details on the upcoming session. See the Programs and Courses website for enrollment dates and additional details.
