Details

If you are seeking advanced academic study or a research career in the study areas listed above, consider the Dean’s Scholars Accelerated Honours Program and extend your studies with an honours degree.

About this program

The Dean’s Scholars Program provides an enriched course of study for current Year 12 students (or those returning from a gap year) who obtain a high level of achievement in their studies. The program can be completed at an accelerated rate allowing you to complete both your bachelor and honours degrees in three years. It introduces high-achieving students to related research via the honours pathway and/or undergraduate research mentoring. The benefits of the program include:

  • information technology students can undertake a concurrent enrolment in the honours program during the final semester of their undergraduate degree
  • 12 credit points will be credited towards optional units in a student’s undergraduate information technology degree on the basis of coursework studies completed in the honours program.

Why do honours?

The honours program will expand your career options through exposure to the world of research. Honours is also the perfect pathway to an academic career through PhD studies, where you can become an independent researcher in your own right.

An honours degree signals to potential employers that you are someone with exceptional ability, motivation and commitment to your field. It gives you the chance to integrate the practical and conceptual knowledge gained through your degree. As an honours graduate, you can clearly demonstrate an ability to undertake rigorous independent research. These skills are unique to the honours program and will differentiate you from your peers in the employment market.

Professional recognition

You will qualify for professional accreditation and employment in the field relevant to the specialisations chosen.
