| Transition | The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Science Honours programs underwent an external program review in 2008. As part of this review some changes were implemented for all Honours courses. If you enrolled prior to 2009, you will be able to complete your Honours program as it stood at your time of enrollment, this being: - Your long research essay or major creative project will be 15,000 words. - You will be given opportunity to give an oral presentation of your work, but this is not mandatory. |
