Honours Information

The School of Political and Social Inquiry offers Honours as both a full-time (1 year) and part-time (2 years) course in our six specialist disciplines. The BA Honours course equips students with a level of research skills far beyond those acquired in studies for the pass degree. An Honours degree is a prerequisite for entry to postgraduate research degrees. It is also highly valued in the employment market as evidence of an applicant's ability to undertake independent work and produce clearly written reports. Even in fields unrelated to your specific Honours study, a BA (Honours) is rightly regarded as an indication of your capacity to analyse problems, conduct detailed research, understand concepts and communicate ideas and facts.
