Future Honours Students - Information for Prospective Honours and Graduate Diploma Students

How do I qualify for Honours?

The Faculty of Science requires that to enrol in an Honours unit of study you must have satisfied all the requirements for a pass degree and be considered by the Head of School to have the required aptitude and knowledge for Honours. In the School of Biological Sciences, the Head's decision is based on advice given by the Honours Executive Committee. A prospective student should have:

• a major in one of the Life Sciences (not necessarily Biology).
• an average grade of at least a Credit in 12 or more credit points of Senior Life Sciences subjects.
• a minimum WAM (weighted average mark) of 65 for all Intermediate and Senior units of study attempted.
• you must have a provisional acceptance of project supervision by at least one academic (School enrolment form).
