Course objectives
The course provides students with the opportunity to engage in educational research at an appropriate level as preparation for future higher degree study.
Students selected into the honours program will receive research training to qualify them for future research engagement, an opportunity to study a particular issue in depth and with personalised research mentor supervision, and graduates of this course will start one step higher on the teacher salary scale.
There are several honours options through the Faculty of Education and they depend on the course you are enrolled in and whether honours is embedded or an end-on option.
Career outcomes
For those students wishing to pursue a higher degree by research, the Honours program will provide a sound basis for future study. Those students gaining a first class honours degree or an upper second award are able to proceed to a doctoral program. Students with a lower second class award or third class honours will have access to the master degree by research program.
