Honours Degree

Honours Year

- No student is guaranteed entry to a particular Honours program or supervisor at the beginning of the degree, rather entry to particular Honours programs will be guaranteed with successful completion of a major at the standard required for continuation in the program.

- The criterion for continuation in the program normally will be an average mark of 75 per cent each semester in Science courses.

- Students in the direct entry BSc (Advanced)(Honours) stream who do not get the 75 per cent average mark each semester shall be transferred to the standard BSc stream, but will be allowed to compete for places in Honours at the end of third year with other students.

The work of the Honours year will consist of advanced work in a selected field of study, details of which are given under the individual departments or schools. The Honours program has specific dates which are advertised in the Honours Handbook. Students who complete the requirements for their third year at the end of the first semester, if admitted to Honours, may, with the approval of the department or school concerned, commence the program mid-year.

Fields of study in which a degree with Honours may be
taken are listed under the previous entry for Bachelor of Science.
