Course objectives
The course aims to provide:
- advanced training in the major area of the student's pass degree,
- opportunity for training in research, to prepare candidates for further research study, eg MSc and PhD programs and employment in research organisations, and
- in-depth knowledge in a single area of science.
Learning Outcomes
Career outcomes
Honours graduates are highly competitive for professional careers in their area of specialisation.
Course structure
Each candidate will conduct research and write a thesis. In addition, candidates maybe required to study and pass one or more advanced level units and undertake other activities which may include the preparation of literature reviews, essays and grant applications and the presentation of seminars.
Each specialisation has a set of core units that must be enrolled in to complete the research project, and some specialisations allow the student to enrol in elective coursework units.

Fees & scholarships
Domestic students
Commonwealth supported places (CSP)
Domestic undergraduate students may be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place in this course. If you are offered a Commonwealth supported place, your fees are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government, and you will only be required to pay the student contribution amount for each unit.
You may be able to defer payment of the student contribution amount by accessing a HECS-HELP loan from the Government. This means you can pay your tuition fees later once you start earning above a specific threshold. For more information, please refer to the Study Assist website.
The student contribution amount for each unit of study is based on its discipline area. Student contribution amounts are charged for each unit of study, this means that amounts will depend on which units you choose. Find out more about student contribution amounts.
Detailed fee information for domestic students is available at Scholarships, fees and costs, including additional information in relation to the compulsory Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
International students
2023 Total Course Fee (international students): $35,138 AUD*.
Course cost based on a rate of $35,138 AUD per standard, full-time year of study (100 credit points).
* Please note that this is an indicative fee only.
