Linguistics Honours IV work:

In their Linguistics Honours program, students normally take three units of coursework and write a substantial sub-thesis. The coursework and thesis are normally weighted equally, at 50% each. All fourth-year coursework is assessed at fourth-year i.e. postgraduate level. Where possible, at least one external examiner is involved in examination of the thesis, in addition to two in-house examiners.

An early start is very important to successful completion of honours. As soon as, or even before, they finish the requirements of their pass degree, students should consult with the honours coordinator to determine a sub-thesis topic and supervisor.
