The Honours award involves an additional fourth year of full-time study and it is recognised in the market place as an award of academic achievement. Potential Honours candidates should approach the head of school or staff members during the second or third year of the degree course. In the fourth year, Honours candidates complete the unit AFM 491 Research and Methodology, undertake advanced course work units and an Honours dissertation. Some financial assistance may be available in the form of scholarships of part-time teaching. The Institute of Chartered Accountants reduces the qualifying period for its Professional Year program for Honours graduates.
Further details are available from the school.
