Honours Degree

Admission to the Bachelor of Asia-Pacific Studies with Honours is available to those students completing the Bachelor of Asia-Pacific Studies (or the equivalent at a different institution) with a high credit average in relevant courses and evidence of proficiency of a regional language equivalent to completion of the College's relevant language major.

The Honours programs are one-year full time.  The degrees with Honours involve coursework (ie, a research methodology course and a third-year undergraduate or graduate-level College course) and a research dissertation (15,000 to 20,000 words).  Honours topics are selected by the students but must be approved by the convenor of the Honours program and only undertaken with confirmed supervision.  Students are encouraged to look beyond the Faculty for supervisors and especially within the other parts of the College (eg, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Crawford School, and Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy) and other relevant parts of the University (eg, Pacific scholars).

Eligible students will have access to a Commonwealth supported place (formerly the Higher Education Contribution Scheme).
