Bachelor of Arts (Languages) (Honours)

Yes, before submitting a course application you will need to secure an academic supervisor. You may need to meet with your proposed supervisor to see if they are able to supervise your honours program and discuss your proposed research topic, and you should provide evidence of their support with your application.

The standard closing dates are Semester 1 - 15 January of the commencing year, and Semester 2 - 25 June of the commencing year. The University strongly encourages applicants to apply as early as possible, as offers are made on a rolling basis and places are limited. Separate scholarship deadlines also apply.

You will complete two seminar units of study, selected from the Bachelor of Languages (Honours) table, giving you the knowledge and skills required to undertake research in your chosen language area, and produce a research thesis under the guidance of a dedicated supervisor.

The Bachelor of Languages (Honours) has two intake periods: Semester 1 starting in February and Semester 2 starting in August.

You need to choose a research topic for your honours study that is an area of interest to you and considered of academic importance to the relevant faculty. Most disciplines have an honours coordinator to assist with preparing your research topic proposal, and in some cases may provide a list of available projects. It is best to submit your research topic proposal as early as possible, and for stand-alone programs this should be before the end of your final semester.
