Introduction
The Bachelor of Commerce Honours year provides a bridge between undergraduate study and advanced research. With an Honours degree, you can move into academic and/or public sector positions requiring advanced research and analytical skills that will aid policy formulation and analysis.
This degree
The program provides training in research skills using a variety of information systems (archives, the Library, databases, electronic research networks); an opportunity to practice 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. Some examples of government institutions that employ students who complete an Honours degree are the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Australian Treasury, and the Australian Productivity Commission.
Honors students can also apply to continue to a research degree.
