Specific information for honours applicants
What is honours?
At the University of Sydney, most undergraduate degrees may be completed "with honours". Honours works differently in different faculties but usually involves either the completion of a separate Honours year or additional work in the later years of the course or meritorious achievement over all years of the course.
If you are looking to improve your career prospects, open the door to further academic study, or simply indulge a passion – Honours is your next step.
The following disciplines offer the Honours year to students who have completed undergraduate study at another university:
- Arts
- Architecture
- Economics and Business
- Health Sciences
- Information Technologies
- Science
- Visual Arts (Sydney College of the Arts)
Eligibility
If you have completed an undergraduate degree at any Australian (or equivalent international) university you are eligible to apply for the Honours year. Most faculties require students to have an above-average grade point average for admission to the Honours year.
