How to apply

Choose your project and supervisor

You'll need a project and a supervisor within the school to support you.

There is a wide range of research topics available in this degree, and many ways to ultimately reach your chosen project. For example, you might find in your undergraduate degree an interest in a particular topic or subject, and your lecturer might have projects available for you. Otherwise, it is possible to discuss your ideas with any of the academics based on their discipline expertise/research areas, browse through available projects, or via the Honours Information evenings.

Check for the latest updates on available projects and supervisors.

If you can’t find anything, please email any of the academics you are interested in working with to discuss your project ideas.

Submit your Expression of Interest (EOI)

Complete and submit your Expression of Interest form. This will inform the SDMS Honours Advisor of:

• Your project title
• project overview
• Research team & supervisor and their willingness to accept you into the Honours program
• Project details (funding/ budget, research question and methodology, activites and milestones, etc.)

Apply for admission

Apply for entry to the Bachelor of Science (Honours) program (5507SC). There are two intakes per year, Session 1 (30) at the beginning of the teaching calendar, and Session 2 (60) midyear.
However, you can discuss an honours project with your prospective supervisor any time to prepare you for your application and enrolment.

A conditional offer may be made if you're due to graduate, but graduation has to have occurred. While you don't technically need to graduate from an undergraduate degree to enrol in honours, you will need to show that you have completed all necessary subjects and requirements for graduation.
