List of Honours pathway level courses offered by the ANU College of Medicine, Biology and Environment and the ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences:

Please note:

An Honours Pathway Option (HPO) is an extra piece of assessment/assignments, assessed at a higher level, attached to a regular course. Students who enrol in certain courses have the option of undertaking this extra piece of assessment and must identify themselves to the course convener at the beginning of the semester so that they can attend the extra classes or submit the extra assignments accordingly. HPOs are usually identified in the handbook or Study@ where there is further information regarding what the assessment entails and how it is graded.

An Honours Pathway Course (HPC) is a course that is inherently taught at a higher level. An HPC is usually identified as such in the Handbook or Study@.
