Honours program
Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University
Honours in the Australian context is a unique program that is recognised as a prestigious qualification in itself and one of the most effective means for qualifying for higher degree studies. The College runs jointly three Honours programs to encourage students of the highest calibre to deepen their understanding of a chosen field of study:
- Master of Asia and the Pacific (Honours)
- Bachelor of Asian and Pacific Studies (Honours)
- Bachelor of Security Analysis (Asia-Pacific) (Honours)
Admission to the Master of Asia and the Pacific (Honours) is restricted to those students completing both the Bachelor of Asian and Pacific Studies or Bachelor of Security Analysis (Asia-Pacific), and the Specialist Diploma in Asian and Pacific Studies (or the equivalent at a different institution) with an overall Distinction average and evidence of proficiency of a regional language sufficient to conduct supervised research in the language.
Admission to the Bachelor of Asian and Pacific Studies (Honours) is available to those students completing the Bachelor of Asian and Pacific Studies (or the equivalent at a different institution) with a high credit average in relevant courses and evidence of proficiency of a regional language equivalent to completion of the College's relevant language major.
Admission to the Bachelor of Security Analysis (Asia-Pacific) (Honours) is available to those students completing the Bachelor of Security Analysis (Asia-Pacific) (or the equivalent at a different institution) with a high credit average in relevant courses.
The Honours programs are one-year full time. The degrees with Honours involve additional coursework (i.e. a research methodology course and a graduate-level College course) and a research dissertation (15,000 to 20,000 words). Honours topics are selected by the students but must be approved by the convenor of the Honours program and only undertaken with confirmed supervision. Students may look beyond the Faculty for supervisors and especially within the other parts of the College (eg, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Crawford School, and Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy) and other relevant parts of the university (eg, Pacific studies scholars).
Eligible students will have access to a Commonwealth supported place (formerly the Higher Education Contribution Scheme).
