Steps to apply

1. Prepare a research topic proposal 

• You need to choose a research topic for your honours study. This should be an area of interest to you and considered of academic importance to the relevant faculty. Most disciplines have an honours coordinator to assist with preparing your research topic proposal, and in some cases may provide a list of available projects.

It is best to submit your research topic proposal as early as possible (see the faculty pages for more details). For stand-alone programs this should be before the end of your final semester. Be aware that pre-approval of your topic doesn’t guarantee entry to the honours program, you will still need to meet the other eligibility requirements. 

In some faculties and schools, you may need to provide a preliminary topic proposal first for approval. Once this is approved, you then develop the more detailed research proposal that will form the basis of your these.

2. Find a supervisor 

• You may need to arrange a supervisor before you apply.

Contact the honours coordinator in the relevant faculty or school for information about honours projects and potential supervisors. It is best to find a supervisor with experience in your topic area. 

You may need to meet with your proposed supervisor to see if they are able to supervise your honours program and discuss your proposed research topic. You should provide evidence of their support with your application.

3. Submit your application 

• Submit your application form with any required supporting documents. The way this is done and the application deadlines vary depending on the type of honours you are completing and the faculty or school.

Your application will be assessed by the relevant faculty or school. You will be offered a place in the honours program provided there are places available and you have met the eligibility criteria, including completion of any prerequisites.
