Honours students may study at one of these universities. The overall program is structured around 48 points of credit. The other 50 percent of assessment will consist of coursework at an advanced level. Twelve of the 24 points must be at third-year level. See the Arts Undergraduate Handbook for further details of Honours regulations for the faculty.
Students can take the Honours program on a part-time basis over two years.
In the first year they will normally take 12 points of coursework in-country, in Melbourne or in some mixture of the two. In the second year they will usually concentrate wholly on writing the Honours dissertation in Melbourne. Combined honours may be taken with another discipline provided that all Honours requirements are met in both disciplines and the program is approved by the Heads of both Schools. Students achieving a high class of Honours may proceed directly to the Ph.D. program. Each dissertation is read by the supervisor and two examiners.
