Honours Program
Overview and Enrolment Procedures.
Honours in the College of Business and Economics requires a fourth year of
full or part time study following a three year Bachelor degree. Formal Honours
coursework is done in most programs and students must also complete a thesis
based on original research. Honours can be seen as either the culmination of an
undergraduate degree program or as the take off point for a higher degree. A
first class honours degree is the best start for entry into a Masters or
Doctorate by research.

Existing ANU students thinking of doing an honours year should
