Completing Honours gives you the opportunity to pursue studies that combine coursework and research in a specialised area of knowledge. The advanced analytical, research and communications skills you'll gain are highly sought after by employers, giving you the edge in an increasingly competitive job market.

Honours includes a research component and a series of research seminars. The research component includes a self-directed thesis on a topic approved by the Honours Coordinator. Ten compulsory research seminars are conducted across the year and students are required to present a paper on their individual research project, developing essential employability skills in oral and written communication.

More than simply consolidating the knowledge gained from your undergraduate degree, Honours develops your abilities in research and enhances other essential employability skills, giving you a career-ready edge in today's competitive job market.

Honours is also the best foundation for a postgraduate coursework degree, a higher degree by research or a career in academia. Complete the Honours program with distinction, and you could qualify for entry into the Masters by Research. If you're a high achiever, you could gain direct entry into a PhD.
