The disciplines which may be studied as single honours courses are those listed in the schedule which follows. Unless exempted by the Faculty, a candidate may not enrol in the Honours course in a discipline listed unless the corresponding prerequisite requirements have been obtained. Joint honours courses consist of such combinations of the disciplines listed in the schedule as Faculty may from time to time approve. A candidate may not enrol in a joint honours course unless permitted to do so by the Faculty on the recommendation of the heads of the two Schools concerned. Candidates must either have passed the prerequisite units prescribed in the schedule for both the proposed disciplines or have otherwise satisfied the heads of the two Schools that they are sufficiently qualified to undertake the joint course.
Candidates undertake a program comprising a number of coursework units and a research thesis.
Articulation A person holding an award from this University or another approved institution may be permitted by the Faculty to count towards the degree units from the former award in accordance with policies in force at the time of admission. The Dean may, on the recommendation of the head of School, grant a candidate an extension of time for the completion of a thesis where a thesis is required as part of an honours examination. Except by special permission of the Faculty there is no re-examination for honours in any one discipline. The classes of honours are First Class, Second Class, and Third Class. There is an upper and lower division in the second class.
