Course Description
The Bachelor of Commerce Honours year provides a bridge between undergraduate study and advanced research.
The program provides: training in research skills using a variety of information systems (archives, the Library, databases, electronic research networks); an opportunity to practise articulating complex ideas orally and in writing; practice in working closely with a supervisor on a project and in preparing a major project within a deadline; experience in devising, researching and writing up an individual topic of study in an extended argument/thesis.
Students considering an Honours degree are encouraged to talk to the Program Coordinator well in advance to seek approval for enrolment, discuss their program, and negotiate a thesis topic and supervisors. The UOW Honours website also provides lots of useful information regarding research opportunities, scholarships, application procedures, etc. For Honours in Business Law and Financial Planning please contact the Faculty.
