An Honours year is a prestigious extension of undergraduate studies, allowing you to delve deeper into research while applying theoretical knowledge from your degree. This qualification is valued both in academic circles and professional sectors, where specialized advanced study is in high demand. You can pursue Honours in various fields including anatomy, biochemistry, biology (genetics), cell pathology, histology and embryology, immunology, infectious diseases, microbiology, pharmacology, or physiology, depending on available projects. The program is also accessible at the Westmead campus. Renowned for its postgraduate research excellence, the Faculty of Science secures substantial funding and maintains cutting-edge facilities to support student research training. Programs are tailored to different academic stages, whether doctoral or master's level, focusing on independent, supervised research culminating in an original thesis. The Honours year serves as a stepping stone to advanced research degrees like the PhD or MSc, attracting numerous domestic and international candidates annually.

Statistics plays a vital role across scientific and social science disciplines, forming the basis for drawing conclusions amid uncertainty. The curriculum covers probability, theoretical and applied statistics, experimental design, survey methodology, and data analysis techniques.

Eligible students can enroll in the School of Mathematics and Statistics' Honours program, which involves a specialized research project guided by an expert supervisor. Participants submit a thesis based on their findings and complete coursework units.

Current statistical research focuses on applied probability, modeling, inference, asymptotic methods, bioinformatics, computational statistics, extreme value theory, and time series analysis.
