If you are passionate about a particular subject, an Honours program will enable you to explore this area of study in greater depth.

An Honours degree is a fourth year of study at undergraduate level, which includes some coursework units and a research thesis or project.

Most Bachelor courses offer students the opportunity to study Honours in their chosen discipline.

Eligibility

Students who have a course average close to 70% and who have demonstrated an aptitude for research and independent study may apply to be considered for Honours.

In certain four‑year degrees such as Engineering, dependent on the student's total weighted course average and the final year project mark, students may be automatically awarded an Honours degree.

An Honours degree may enhance your employment opportunities, as Honours graduates are highly valued by prospective employers for their excellent writing, research and communication skills, allowing them to put their mark on complex projects.

Interested students should discuss their options and available projects with their course's Honours coordinator in their final year of undergraduate study.
