The Honours degree allows you to put to practical use the knowledge you’ve gained in the first three years of your degree, and it prepares you for postgraduate study and professional opportunities.
An Honours qualification may also help to set you apart from your peers, signalling to employers that you possess the abilities and knowledge they value, including critical thinking, time management and interpersonal engagement.
