About this course
The honours year after the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science is a widely recognised and highly regarded additional year of undergraduate study available to you after you complete your undergraduate course.
Extend your knowledge of your undergraduate degree with a stand-alone Honours year in your subject area expertise. This course is available to students who have already completed their studies in this study area.
It's a unique opportunity for you to explore your research potential and put the theory from your undergraduate studies into practice. An honours qualification in science or arts is not only well regarded in academia, but also in industry where laboratory experience and/or a command of complex thought processes are highly sought after.
Honours can be undertaken in any area of science or arts, usually in the subject area in which you completed most of your studies. It involves designing a research program in your chosen area of interest in consultation with one or more supervisors. Your research program may include components in more than one area of science or arts (eg. physiology and biology) and depending on the nature of your project you may also have to undertake some courses in experimental design or complete technical training to use a particular piece of equipment.
