The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) is an exciting research-focused degree at the ANU. It is an integrated program leading to an Honours award. It is designed for intellectually ambitious students who aspire to study at the highest level. Every student receives intensive individual attention from an academic advisor.

The PhB is flexible in its structure with your program determined each year in collaboration with your academic advisor. One quarter of your studies in the first three years will consist of individually tailored advanced studies courses specifically designed to provide you with a strong base in research. In these courses, you might do a reading course or literature review with an academic. In the fourth year you will undertake an Honours year centred around one Arts discipline. It will be possible to accelerate the program to complete in three years by taking extra courses in Year 1 and by undertaking Advanced Studies or internship courses in breaks.

To qualify for this degree, you will need to complete all of the course requirements, at High Distinction level, and complete the Honours year with first class honours. After your completion of the equivalent of each 48 units for the degree, the College will determine whether your level of performance is sufficient to remain in the degree program. It will be possible to transfer to another undergraduate degree program of the College and receive credit for work successfully completed in the PhB.

Through the PhB, it is possible to specialise in areas as diverse as Ancient Greek, anthropology, applied linguistics, archaeology, art history, Australian studies, biological anthropology, classics, contemporary Europe, development studies, English, film studies, French, gender, sexuality and culture, geography, German, history, human ecology, international relations, Italian, Latin, linguistics, musicology, philosophy, political science, population studies, psychology, sociology and theatre studies.

A strict quota will apply to enrolments in this degree program. A wide range of scholarships is available to potential applicants.

Please note you must add the PhB (Hons) to your UAC preferences (http://www.uac.edu.au/ )  by 30 November.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
