Honours is a fourth year of study following the completion of a Bachelors degree. It provides an opportunity to develop and refine research skills, and to engage in more specialised advanced study.
For many students, it provides a bridge between undergraduate study and enrolment in research based higher degrees, such as Masters by research or PhD. For others, it is a valuable addition to a resume, identifying the attainment of skills in sustained independent work of a high standard.
