course description
The Honours program is an end-on degree in Creative Arts and provides an opportunity for students to develop to a sophisticated level established theoretical and practical skills gained in the area of their Major Study during their undergraduate course. In the Bachelor of Creative Arts Honours course, students are given close supervision of both a research topic and a creative presentation. In addition, a weekly research methodology seminar in Autumn Session provides training in advanced research skills specific to disciplines within the creative arts. While an Honours degree is an important first step for students who wish to enrol in a higher degree program such as a research masters or a doctorate, this is not the only role of the Honours program. Honours graduates acquire greater competence and confidence in both theory and their practice. These attributes are well-recognised by employers and increase the possibilities of employment in industry, with professional bodies or research organisations.
The Bachelor of Creative Arts Honours is normally taken as a one year full-time course. However, it can be taken on a part-time basis over two years.
