Students undertake Honours in one of the majors they studied in their undergraduate degree. They can thus specialise in an area of their choice such as Global Politics and Peace; Societies (featuring sociology, development and religion); or Languages. This offers the opportunity for in depth study of topical issues significant to humanity and the future of our planet. Honours comprises coursework and a dissertation on a topic of particular interest to the student. The precise topic is determined in consultation with their supervisor. This degree is flexible and can be studied both on campus and online.

Students are able to further their studies and/or employment in fields relating to international policy and advocacy. Depending on the major, these can include professions within government, inter-governmental and non-government organisations and the business sector such as: defence forces; environmental advocacy; human rights advocacy; immigration; intelligence agencies; international diplomacy; international commerce; journalism; non-government organisations; overseas development assistance; postgraduate studies and academia; public policy making and advice; and public relations.
