Honours Program

The Greek Studies Program offers Honours in Modern Greek and contributes to the honours' programs in Ancient Mediterranean Studies and European Studies. Students who fulfil the requirements for a major in one of these disciplines and who attain at least a B average in the respective core units are strongly encouraged to enrol in the honours program at fourth-year level.

The honours program is of two semesters’ duration and has two components: coursework and a thesis. For the coursework component (which counts for 50 per cent of the final honours assessment), students are required to complete the equivalent of 60 credit points of fourth-year units. The units offered in any year vary according to student numbers and staff availability. For the research component, students are required to complete a 12,000-15,000-word thesis on an approved topic under the guidance of an approved supervisor. The thesis is to be submitted for marking during the second semester and counts for 50 per cent of the final honours assessment.

Students considering honours should consult the Honours Coordinator when re-enrolling for their third-year, in order to plan a suitable course structure on which to base their honours year. In September of their third year, intending honours students should consult the Honours Coordinator concerning the composition of their honours coursework, the thesis topic and the supervisor.
