High-achieving graduates of the Bachelor of Arts can enhance their degree with a one-year honours qualification.

An honours degree enables you to:

• deepen your understanding of a specialist topic
• produce an in-depth dissertation or creative work
• enhance your research, analytical and communication skills
• join a community of like-minded, inspiring researchers
• increase your appeal to future employers
• support your eligibility for doctoral level studies.

Specialise in a research area
In your honours year you’ll deepen your knowledge of your chosen area, with the guidance of an honours supervisor.

Your research topic will be related to your undergraduate studies.

After completing an in-depth independent study (with the support of your supervisor) you’ll apply the concepts learned to a dissertation or creative project.
