Undergraduate: Course rule and topic informationBachelor of Arts - Honours degreeBA - Introduction
A student who has completed all the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts, or another qualification which the BA Board of Studies agrees is equivalent, may be accepted for admission to the honours program provided a sufficiently high standard has been achieved in fulfilling the requirements for the bachelors degree. In order to be eligible for automatic entry to honours, students would normally be expected to have achieved a GPA of 5.25 in 24 units of upper level topics in the major sequence relevant to the proposed honours program. Individual schools/departments may require specific topics as prerequisites for entry to honours programs. Additional admission requirements for individual honours programs are included with the relevant program of study below*. Students who do not meet the above criteria for automatic entry may apply and their case will be assessed on its individual merits. In some circumstances admission may be approved if applicants do not meet normal minimum entry requirements. Joint honours programs can be arranged with the heads of departments/schools involved. These usually involve 12 units of coursework in each of the two programs and a 12-unit thesis, either singly or jointly supervised. To qualify for the honours degree, a student must complete satisfactorily 36 units of study as specified. The program requires one year of full-time study or the equivalent part-time.
