Commonwealth supported students who commenced their studies before 1 January 2021
The Australian Government’s Job-ready Graduates program made changes to fees for CSP students who commence a new course of study from 1 January 2021. Under the package, some students are 'grandfathered students', meaning they continue to pay their original fee rate. If you transfer to a new course to do honours, you may not be grandfathered and may be charged the new fee rates for honours. Read our page on the Job-ready Graduates Package for more information about the changes.
Programs offered
The following appended honours programs require an additional year of study. Refer to the 'Find a course' page for detailed information on your preferred program, including how to apply:
- Bachelor of Arts (Honours)
Available if you completed a Bachelor of Arts (or equivalent).
- Bachelor of Economics (Honours)
Available if you completed a Bachelor of Economics.
- Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours)
Available if you completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts.
Joint honours
If you'd like to apply for joint honours, you need to negotiate this with the relevant honours coordinator for each department. You'll then need to complete a plan of study form and have this signed by the two honours coordinators. This will also outline which seminars you will undertake and how your thesis will be supervised. You'll find a copy of the form in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences - Honours Provisions (pages 9–14).
