Direct entry into the Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology (Honours) is not available. Students who have completed the first three years of the Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology to a satisfactory level have the option to apply for a transfer into the Honours program.
Honours is a 1 year program consisting of a research project and associated theoretical work.
An Honours year provides professional training in a chosen area of specialisation, providing the opportunity to experience scientific research first hand.
Researchers in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Adelaide are international leaders in their fields, providing an opportunity for students to join them for your Honours year and work at the cutting edge of science and technology.
During an Honours year, you will learn new techniques and broaden your skill base, opening the doors to increased job opportunities.
Honours can give you a competitive edge in the job market, or if you are interested in further study, it is an important foundation for postgraduate research.
