During your Honours year in Health Sciences you will complete an independent research thesis in your chosen health specialisation. This will be complemented by multidisciplinary coursework from expert researchers in research design, contemporary issues in health, and research communication and translation.
Your Honours year will focus on research in a discipline of your choice, including:
The Honours degree in the fourth year is only available to start in Semester 1, therefore students who commence their studies mid-year will need to delay their Honours program by one semester.
Entry into one-year Honours is highly competitive. If you have demonstrated academic excellence (a Grade Point Average of 5.00 or above) during your bachelor degree you are invited to apply for Honours.
Whether you’re invited to apply, or want to apply, you will need to contact the Honours coordinator in your discipline to discuss your project and arrange for supervision.
