An honours degree is a one-year advanced program that extends undergraduate education through an in-depth research component. Geography, environment, and population graduates have multiple compelling reasons to consider honours. You may wish to establish the groundwork for future postgraduate research at master's or PhD levels. Perhaps you're driven to explore unanswered environmental questions. Alternatively, you might aim to develop specialized expertise and communication abilities to stand out professionally. Admission requires at least a credit average in a relevant major. Departments typically accept applications during October and November.
