The purpose of the Honours program is to enable students who have performed well at undergraduate level to deepen their knowledge of approaches, perspectives, and traditions in their chosen discipline and undertake a significant research project. Honours is a means for connecting undergraduate study with supervised independent research, by consolidating and extending work completed in the undergraduate program and providing an academic foundation for students continuing on to masters by research or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
UNSW Canberra offers one-year Honours programs to non-Defence as well as Defence undergraduate students who have completed a three-year undergraduate degree in the fields of Arts (Humanities and Social Science), Business, Computing and Cyber Security, and Science.
