The School of Organisation and Management offers an International Business Honours program, designed for students seeking to deepen their analytical skills and research techniques. The Honours program may only be taken if the students have completed their International Business major sequence.

The Honours program is also open to students who have completed a comparable pass degree at another University. Please contact the Honours Coordinator for the School of Organisation and Management to discuss this option (contact details below).

For the below programs

the honours year program comprises 48 units of credit (UOC), spread across two semesters in the fourth year for full-time students, and four semesters for students enrolled on a part-time basis.

Honours students are required to complete:

Research Thesis
The research thesis is worth 24 UOC, to be taken over both sessions. The final thesis should be in the range of 15,000-20,000 words (excluding appendices and bibliography). The thesis is due on the Thursday of Week 14 Session 2.

In view of the importance of the thesis to the grading of Honours degrees, extensions of time for submission of the thesis will not normally be granted. Students who have medical or other serious reasons for requesting an extension of time must submit a written application, supported by relevant documentary evidence. A student who is permitted to submit a thesis after the prescribed submission date will have the grading of the thesis and overall honours grading postponed until the following year. Students who submit their thesis late, without prior approval, will incur a penalty of one thesis grade mark per day.

The research thesis will be completed under the supervision of a staff member in the School of Organisation and Management. Students are expected to choose a thesis topic that falls within the expertise of the School. For staff members’ areas of research supervision, students should consult the School's academic research interests.

Unfortunately, because essential theory and methodology courses are only offered in Session 1, it is not possible to have a mid-year intake of International Business Honours students.
