completing honours gives students the opportunity to pursue studies that combine coursework and research in a specialized area of knowledge. the advanced analytical, research and communications skills they will gain are highly sought after by employers, giving them the edge in an increasingly competitive job market.

the program includes a research component and a series of research seminars. the research component includes a self-directed thesis on a topic approved by the honours coordinator. ten compulsory research seminars are conducted across the year and students are required to present a paper on their individual research project, developing essential employability skills in oral and written communication.
