I would 100% recommend doing honours. Because what it comes down to is that you get to research what you want to research. It’s not your honours supervisor who says, ‘you need to research this’, it’s you having a conversation with your honours supervisor about this is what I’ve been thinking or this part of business interests me.
This on-campus, 1-year full-time or 2-year part-time Honours degree course is offered at the Hobart campus. The TSBE Honours programs may be offered in Launceston but that is subject to sufficient enrolment numbers and available supervisors.
Honours candidates can undertake their thesis in the following areas:
- Accounting
- Human Resource Management
- Management
- Marketing
- Tourism
If you are considering enrolling or would like to express interest in the Honours program, please contact the Honours Coordinator - Dr Megan Woods - before submitting your application for admission.
Course objectives
The aim of the honours year is to enable students to develop further their interests and research skills and to provide a foundation for postgraduate study in the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics (TSBE).
Practical experience
Learn beyond the classroom
Studying in Tasmania, our whole Island becomes your campus. Speak with your unit coordinator about how you can gain practical experience by volunteering in research initiatives, becoming an ambassador, or taking part in a work experience program.
Study overseas at one of our partner institutions
