Applying for Honours

Finding a project/supervisor

1. Look at the range of projects / areas of research.
2. Contact potential supervisors to arrange a meeting to discuss projects.
3. Take a copy of your transcript with you so that potential supervisors can see whether you have done an appropriate range of courses.
4. If you are having trouble choosing a project arrange a meeting with the Honours co-ordinator who can make some suggestions based on your interests.
5. Before making a final decision it can be useful to talk to previous students/lab members.

Once you have found a supervisor:

1. Complete the 12-unit (pdf 31kB) or 24-unit (pdf 28kB) "Honours Application Form", including signature of Honours co-ordinator.
   • Please indicate if you would like to be considered for a School Scholarship.

5. Pass all completed forms and summary to the Academic Programs Officer by 7th November to be considered for the first round of offers. More information on due dates for subsequent rounds is available in Application Information.
