You will receive an email from the Faculty inviting you to complete an ‘Expression of Interest’ for Honours. You must complete this form to let us know that you are intending to move on to year four of your degree.
The fourth year for S3001 Bachelor of Science Advanced – Global Challenges (Honours) and S3003 Bachelor of Applied Data Science Advanced (Honours) is only available to commence in semester one. If you complete stages 1-3 of your course mid-year you will need to take an intermission for one semester before commencing honours.
S3002 Bachelor of Science Advanced – Research (Honours) can be commenced in semester 1 or semester 2. You must follow the same steps 1 and 2 that are listed under How to Apply for students in S3701 Bachelor of Science (Honours).
If you don’t meet the requirements for admission to your embedded fourth year you will be given an alternative exit with the Bachelor of Science. In this case you may still be eligible to apply for honours under S3701 Bachelor of Science (Honours).
