Asian Studies Program
Honours Program
An Honours or fourth year is available to students in the Bachelor of Arts. It is designed to enable high-achieving students to further develop research skills and expertise in languages and related disciplines.
Honours may be taken full-time over one year or part-time over two years. In some cases it may be possible to commence an Honours course mid year. Successful completion of the Honours year is a prerequisite for entry into postgraduate research degrees. Alternatively, for students who have already taken out a 3 year undergraduate degree and now wish to proceed to postgraduate study, a Master of Arts Preliminary is available, which is identical to the Honours program.
The Honours year in Asian Studies combines coursework and a research essay or thesis of 10,000 to 15,000 words.
Students interested in applying for Honours should consult the Asian Studies Honours Co-ordinator before the end of their third year of study. More information on the Honours year is available in the Honours Guide 2010 (pdf - 250 KB).
