Bachelor of Arts (Advanced) (Honours)

The Honours year involves designing a research program in your chosen area of interest in consultation with one or more supervisors. Your research program may include components in more than one area of science or arts (eg: physiology and biology) and depending on the nature of your project you may also have to undertake some courses in experimental design or complete technical training to use a particular piece of equipment.

Generally, the Honours year after the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science (Advanced) consists of three components: a supervised but independent research program, additional courses in experimental design/technical training, and some coursework units of study (classes). However, there may be variations depending on the school or discipline area in which you complete honours.
