The Bachelor of Arts and Social Sciences (Honours) is a 48-unit advanced undergraduate program designed for top-performing students, equivalent to one year of full-time study. This degree builds upon an undergraduate pass degree in Arts, International Studies, or Social Research and Policy. Students typically pursue honours within their chosen major from their previous degree. The program emphasizes refining analytical and research abilities, expanding subject expertise, and applying discipline-specific methodologies.
The English Honours program requires completing 48 units, which can be undertaken full-time over one year or part-time across two years.
This program combines seminar participation with a substantial research project. It includes 18 units of coursework and 30 units dedicated to thesis work. Students conduct original research throughout the year, culminating in a 15,000-word thesis based on their findings.
