Bachelor of Arts with Honours

An Honours degree is normally a one-year, full-time programme of course work (four 400-level courses) taken after the completion of a BA or a GradDipArts in the relevant subject area.  There is provision for Honours to be taken as a part-time course over a maximum of four years.

Admission to an Honours programme at Victoria normally requires a good Bachelor’s degree in the same discipline, with the appropriate prerequisite courses. However, all applications are considered individually and recognition can be given to appropriate academic and relevant work experience.

The Honours degree can be completed within the School in Asian Studies, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese or Modern Language Studies.

For further information about the Bachelor of Arts with Honours please refer to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences' website or contact our Postgraduate Coordinator.
