Entry Requirements

  • Academic level Applicants should have achieved at least a 70% average in their pass degree course, preferably with several A grades within their intended Honours discipline or area of study. Applicants should also have achieved at least an average of 70% at the third year level of the pass degree. Where applicants do not meet a 70% average they will need to seek Course Coordinator approval. Students who are in their final year of undergraduate study, expect to meet these entry criteria, and who wish to be admitted into the Honours degree should consult with the Honours Coordinator and staff in their academic area about the possibilities for admission, a potential supervisor for their thesis, and any other pre-conditions that disciplines or area studies may have.
  • Note: You may need to complete an undergraduate major at an appropriate grade level in the area in which you want to do your honours specialisation.
  • Honours in your major You may be eligible to complete Honours in a major completed as part of your undergraduate degree. Your eligibility is subject to the availability and agreement of a suitable supervisor for the major and you meeting the entry requirements specific to that major. For more information, please see the University Handbook.
