Applying for Honours in the Faculty of Science

All students must apply to be admitted to an Honours year. This includes students who are already enrolled in a four year course with a compulsory Honours year, e.g. Bachelor of Psychology.

Gaining entry into Honours is competitive - the standard that you need to achieve must meet certain minimum requirements but will also depend on the number and quality of other applicants in that year.
