Honours Study

Honours research opportunities are available to work on a research project with any of the MOBT academic staff and/or in any of our participating schools. Students enrol in the Honours course in the School within which the academic staff member is based: either the School of Molecular Bioscience, Chemistry or Biological Sciences.

Generally each School expects students to have achieved a Credit grade or higher in senior units of study. The Faculty of Science also requires that prospective honours students have a Science Weighted Average Mark (SCIWAM*) requirement of at least 65 - more...

As a guide, honours students generally have maintained at least a credit average, and often a distinction average, in their undergraduate units of study.

Links to the research interests of affiliated academic staff are provided below:
