Serving as both a pathway to advanced study and an intensive research endeavor, Honours is an additional year available after completing a three-year bachelor's program.
While your Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation provided broad exposure to diverse themes, the Honours year lets you concentrate on a selected subject, examining it thoroughly to uncover insights. Honours topics are flexible and open to discussion, with active support for pursuing your academic passions.
No matter your chosen focus, future employers will appreciate your demonstrated skills in tackling complex objectives, managing timelines, conducting autonomous research, utilizing resources efficiently, and presenting ideas clearly.
The Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation (Honours) program balances coursework and research equally. The research portion involves producing a 15,000-word thesis under the guidance of a School of Liberal Arts faculty member.
To qualify for entry into the Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation (Honours), students must have qualified for a Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation or other relevant bachelor degree, with an average normally of at least 80% in the core Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilization subjects or across a relevant major in which the Honours degree will be undertaken, with the additional requirement of a Distinction in two of the 300 level subjects required by the major.
