What is Honours?

Honours is a fourth year of specialised study taken after a three year degree, such as the Bachelor of Commerce degree. The Faculty of Business and Law's Honours program offers advanced study in your chosen area and training in research techniques.

The Honours program is an eight credit point program, comprising four credit points of coursework units which provide research training, and a research project worth four credit points. Your research will be individually supervised by an experienced staff member. It is a small, but intensive program with a group of bright and highly motivated students.
