Welcome to the Honours Program
When you have completed the Honours Program, you will have:
-
acquired high level communication and technical skills
-
developed a high degree of self confidence and personal satisfaction by completing a significant piece of work
-
contributed to a research program in the laboratory of your supervisor and maybe even made some "world first" discoveries
-
give yourself the best chance for future employment or entry to the graduate research program.
Applying for the Honours Program
The School requires a satisfactory background in Level 2 and 3 relevant courses. For BSc graduates, the minimum requirement is a GPA of at least 4.5 in the “most relevant 8 units of third level (or advanced) study” and an overall GPA of 4 (minimum) for the BSc degree. In some circumstances, and subject to the approval of the Head of School and Executive Dean, BSc graduates who do not fulfil the above requirements may be permitted to enter the Honours program if they have a high GPA in other science courses and if their proposed project fits well with their background.
Check out the Honours Projects page or view our staff profile research pages to find your research interest.
Make contact the prospective advisor.
Once they have agreed to act as your advisor, you can then apply to enrol in the honours program.
