Applying for Honours

Honours is an additional year of study related to your undergraduate degree. An end-on Honours program can be tailored to your own interest, developing your personal skills and understanding of a specific discipline.

There are various topics that you can design and negotiate with your Faculty. A degree with embedded Honours can involve taught courses as well as a research project.

If you have completed and done well in a three year bachelor degree, you can apply for an end-on Honours program.

You usually apply for Honours in the final year of your undergraduate degree.
