Students who have met the requirements for a major in Women's and Gender Studies may apply to be admitted to a Combined Honours program in Women's and Gender Studies together with an approved discipline (from the A, B or C lists). The normal requirement for a student seeking admission to a Combined Honours program is 48 units of credit in approved WGS courses (including WOMS1001 and 2 Upper Level core courses) at 70% average or better.

Students may request to subsitute up to 6 units of credit of the Women's and Gender Studies component with other courses particularly relevant to their proposed topic areas. This will be decided at the discretion of the Program Coordinator.

When a student undertakes Combined Honours, arrangements are made between the relevant Schools or programs to determine, in conjunction with the student, the thesis topic, the Honours courses undertaken and the supervisors. In the case of WGS, students would be expected to do either one 2 hour per week seminar or a reading program for one session (see WOMS4500 or WOMS4550) in addition to a thesis on an approved topic, with joint supervision if appropriate.
