To qualify for admission to the Honours program, students are selected on the basis of their performance in the final year of the Bachelor's degree course. Students must achieve a 65 per cent average in subjects to the value of 60 credit points relevant to the area in which the Honours discipline is to be undertaken.
Meeting this requirement, however, does not guarantee a place in the Honours year as resources may limit the total number of places available, and students are expected to find a supervisor prior to enrolment.
