Overview
Introduction
If you've enjoyed studying for your Bachelor of Arts degree, why not consider an honours year? This normally involves one additional year of study following the successful completion of a three-year undergraduate degree.Your Bachelor of Arts studies would have introduced you to a wide range of topics and issues, and an honours project lets you explore one of these in much greater depth. Honours research topics are various and negotiable: if you are really interested in a topic and want to find answers, you'll be encouraged and supported to do so. The honours year has two functions at UOW; as an in-depth project at the end of undergraduate study, and as a bridge between undergraduate study and advanced research. Studying honours will:Teach you research skills, navigation skills and how to use information systems (archives, the library, databases and electronic research networks)Provide an opportunity to articulate complex ideas in both verbal and written formatProvide the experience of working closely with a supervisor on a project and preparing a major project to meet a deadlineExperience in devising, researching and delivering an individual topic of study in an extended thesis of approx. 15,000 to 18,000 words
