This prestigious honours program is open to graduates of a Monash BA, or graduates with excellent results from other universities in Australia or overseas. The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) involves a fourth year of study in one or both undergraduate majors. Students need strong academic results in their undergraduate degree, particularly in the third year, to gain entry. Honours graduates have sophisticated skills in analysis, communication and research and are often targeted as potential managers and leaders in large corporations. Students will study advanced coursework units, while undertaking research towards a thesis of 12-15,000 words. Students decide their thesis topic in conjunction with their academic supervisor, who then provides advice and guidance as the student researches and writes.
