To enrol in this course, you’ll need to meet one of the following academic requirements.
If you’re unsure, a course advisor can help you assess your eligibility.
The Honours course is a one year (full-time) commitment. Students enrol and
complete RBM4003 (48cp) and RBM4002 (48cp) , receiving a single, final mark and
grade at the completion of the course.
Students will receive a GPA grade after completion of both Science Honours 1 and
Science Honours 2 with the grade allocated to the unit Science Honours 2. Science
Honours 1 will be weighted 35% and Science Honours 2 will be weighted 65% of the
GPA grade for the Science Honours course.
This weighting reflects the whole of year nature of the Honours degree and allows
development of higher level written, oral and analysis skills, using feedback from
assessors and their supervisor during the year, thus placing the bulk of the marks
associated with the final thesis when all AQF level 8 skills have been obtained.
This is also necessary for application and entry to many doctoral programs which
require the thesis to form more than 50% of the grade.
