About

Turn high-achieving into a higher degree

An honours degree is a one-year program that builds upon undergraduate study by introducing the challenge of an extended research project.

There are many reasons we encourage graduates to apply for an honours year. You might want to build the necessary foundations for postgraduate research at masters or doctorate levels. You could be seeking answers to economics questions no one else has asked. Perhaps you're pursuing advanced skills for specialist positions in economics, including in government and business.

Attend regular classes for advanced coursework.
Complete a major research dissertation on a topic of your choice.
Partner with an academic supervisor who'll support and encourage your progress.
Develop marketable skills in research design, data analysis and project management.
