BA in Languages - Modern Greek Studies (Honours) in Darlington Australia | The University of Sydney

The honors program includes specialized seminar courses in Modern Greek studies, along with a thesis on a subject you select in collaboration with the Department.
To qualify for honors, you must complete a major in Modern Greek studies with a minimum 70% average. Exchange credits may count toward this requirement if approved by the department.
Pursuing honors can serve as a foundation for an academic career or professional research. The honors year combines seminar participation with an independent research project, guided by a faculty expert in your chosen field.
Each honors program balances seminars with thesis work. Some require three seminars and a 12,000-15,000 word thesis, while others involve two seminars and a longer thesis of up to 20,000 words. Seminar assessments are conducted by the instructor, with some departments involving a second faculty member for evaluation. Theses are reviewed by at least two academics (excluding the supervisor), who provide detailed feedback and preliminary grades.

Final thesis grades are determined collectively by the department or program faculty. All honors candidates are ranked based on their thesis and seminar performance. These rankings, along with University Medal nominations, are reviewed by the Faculty Honours Board, which includes Honors Coordinators from across the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
