Plan Outline

Honours in Sociology requires a further year of study after completing the requirements for a Pass degree including a more concentrated study of sociology in second and third year. Students who are achieving good grades are encouraged to plan a four-year program leading to an Honours degree in Sociology.

The last year of studying for an Honours degree is directed to students' development of research and writing skills which will prepare them for entering a career or proceeding to postgraduate research studies. The experience will provide skills in thinking, research and writing that will be invaluable in future pursuits, whether academic or otherwise.

Plan Structure

Prior to enrolment in the Honours year, students must have:
  • completed up to 54 units of credit in Sociology, including no more than two Level 1 Sociology courses
  • have achieved an average of 70%
All students should consult with any of their lecturers during the second year of enrolment about the Honours year and the courses to be taken in preparation for that enrolment.
