Bachelor of Arts with Honours – BA(Hons)
Explore your area of interest in more detail and improve your career prospects with a BA(Hons). Refine your research, writing and analytical skills while expanding your knowledge.
You'll need to complete 120 points over one year, or if studying part time, over a maximum of four years.
At Honours level your learning will be more self-directed. You'll have the opportunity to do a 30-point research project and this will include designing, undertaking and reporting on a research project under supervision.
As an Honours student you'll be in smaller classes and will be able to build closer relationships with academic staff.
If you want to continue studying at an advanced level and have at least a B average in your Bachelor's degree for the subject you intend to study (or a B+ average for some subjects), then you can do a BA(Hons).
