BACHELOR OF COMMERCE HONOURS (ECONOMICS)

The Honours Program

The Bachelor of Commerce Honours degree specialising in Economics is a 48 credit point ‘end-on’ program that students complete in their 4th year of undergraduate studies (note: because Honours is an ‘end-on’ program it is only available to students who HAVE NOT graduated from their Bachelor degree). The Honours degree involves a 24 credit point research project that is supervised by two academics. It also involves 24 credit points of advanced coursework subjects that support and compliment the research project. The Honours degree can also be completed on a part-time basis over four semesters.
