Award with Distinction High achieving students who secure a WAM of 75 across their program and who have completed at least 48UOC of their program at UNSW are eligible for the award of their Pass Degree "with Distinction".
Honours High achieving BEd students may apply for entry to Honours. Honours is an additional year of study (two years part-time) which allows a student to further explore the field of Education. It involves seminars and the completion of a thesis. Those students who are considering Honours should submit an expression of interest at the beginning of Level 4 and complete a formal application at the end of Level 4. Both should be submitted to the School of Education Honours Convenor. Entry to Honours requires a WAM of 70 or higher in the program and is subject to resources and the approval of the Head of School Education. Honours is awarded in three classes (Class 1, Class 2 in two Divisions, and Class 3). If requirements for these classes are not met the Pass degree will be awarded if the student is not already a Graduate of the program.
Eligible students may commence the relevant Honours program only when they have completed the requirements for the equivalent of a single degree for that program (i.e. where an Education student in a dual program would like to commence Honours they must have completed at least the 96 UOC Education core degree plus 48 units of credit for the Economics degree such that a total of 144 UOC has been completed).
