Bachelor of International Studies with Honours
Students undertake Honours in one of the majors they studied in their undergraduate degree. They can thus specialize in an area of their choices such as Global Politics and Peace; Societies (featuring sociology, development, and religion); or Languages. This offers the opportunity for an in-depth study of topical issues significant to humanity and the future of our planet. Honors comprise coursework and a dissertation on a topic of particular interest to the student. The precise topic is determined in consultation with their supervisor. This degree is flexible and can be studied both on-campus and online.
