Honours applications

An Honours degree offers you the opportunity to continue your undergraduate degree studies at a higher level and specialise in your area of interest. Completing an Honours degree is also a pathway to further research-based postgraduate studies.

There are two kinds of Honours degrees:

  • One-year, end-on Honours degrees, which you apply for after you have completed your bachelor's (AQF Level 7) degree
  • Embedded Honours degrees, where the Honours component is completed as part of your degree 

Entry requirements
