Bachelor of International and Global Studies in European Studies (Honours) in Darlington Australia | The University of Sydney

The Bachelor of International and Global Studies (Honours) is a rigorous one-year program focused on advanced research. Participants attend specialized seminars and develop an extensive thesis on a chosen topic under the guidance of an expert supervisor. While standard degrees offer broad exploration with focused majors, the honours year allows deep engagement with a major subject through original research. This year serves as both a foundation for postgraduate work and a crowning achievement of undergraduate studies. For some, honours represents the pinnacle of their academic journey, expanding intellectual horizons while refining research, analytical, and communication skills essential for completing significant projects. For others, it marks the beginning of a career in professional research or academia.

The European Studies honours program includes two seminars and a research thesis. Like the undergraduate major, all coursework and the thesis are conducted in English, though students with European language skills are encouraged to incorporate foreign-language sources. Admission requires maintaining a 70% average in the major, and prospective candidates should leverage their European language abilities while considering related language discipline courses.
