Turn high-achieving into a higher degree

An honours degree is a one-year program that builds upon undergraduate study by introducing the challenge of an extended project.

There are many reasons we encourage graduates to apply for an honours year. You might want to build the necessary foundations for postgraduate research. You could be seeking answers to questions no one else is asking in criminology. Perhaps you’re keen to develop deeper insight into emerging crime forms to gain an employability edge for the future.

Our prerequisite for the Bachelor of Criminology (Honours) is a Distinction average in a Bachelor of Criminology or other bachelor degree with a Criminology major. Applications are called for in October and November each year.

 

What will you do?

  • Attend regular classes for advanced coursework, with an emphasis on research training and critical thinking.
  • Partner with an academic mentor who’ll support and encourage your intellectual development.
  • Produce an extended piece of work (thesis) on a chosen topic.

Further details on honours are available from schools and disciplines in the faculty. 

 


  • Demonstrate your advanced capabilities with a Honours degree
  • Research the big questions and influence social policy creation
  • Be part of a community of world-leading academics
