Honours year

An honours degree extends your knowledge and prepares a pathway to further postgraduate research studies.

Sketching notes

The Honours year is a chance to focus on high level mathematics and statistics, involving coursework with a research project component.

 

If you are an Advanced Mathematics student, then Honours is built into your program. For other students, if you have achieved good results in years one to three, you may want to consider an Honours year. Please see the information below for details on the Honours year. 

After graduating, you may contemplate a graduate coursework degree or a research degree.
