About the course

Acting as both a bridge to advanced research and an in-depth project, Honours is an optional year that follows the successful completion of a three-year undergraduate degree.

　　While your Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation degree introduced you to a wide range of themes and issues, an Honours project provides you with the opportunity to focus your interest on a topic of choice, exploring it in greater depth and detail to find answers. Honours project topics are various and negotiable, and you’ll be encouraged and supported to pursue your specific interests.

　　Whatever topic you choose, prospective employers will value your ability to achieve a complex goal, meet deadlines, investigate independently, use resources effectively and write coherently.

　　The Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation (Honours) consists of 50% coursework and 50% research work. The research component of this degree takes the form of a 15,000-word research thesis completed under the supervision of an academic employed in the School of Liberal Arts.
