You can apply for admission to honours as long as it’s within five years of completing any level 3 units that you’re using as the basis for admission.
If your units were completed more than five years ago we may be able to consider your application with the support of the relevant honours coordinator. You’ll need to be able to show how you have kept up to date in the area of study e.g. work experience or further study.
All requests to include units completed more than five years before commencement are sent to the Associate Dean (Undergraduate) for consideration.
