Bachelor of International Studies (Honours)
University of Wollongong
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00102E
If you are doing, or have done particularly well in your Bachelor of International Studies degree, you should consider an Honours year. This normally involves one additional year of study following the successful completion of a three-year undergraduate degree. Your Bachelor of International Studies degree would have introduced you to a wide range of topics and problems, and an Honours project enables you to explore one in much greater depth. Honours research topics are various and negotiable-if you are really interested in a topic and want to find answers, youll be encouraged and supported by our expert staff. From a potential employers perspective, whatever your topic, being able to demonstrate the ability to achieve a complex goal, meet deadlines, investigate independently, use resources effectively and write coherently, are all highly desirable qualities.
