Honours refers to a final, usually fourth, year of study which may be undertaken by students who have achieved a particular academic standard.
Typically this standard is a weighted average of at least 65 per cent across the level three units. All students enrolled through the Bachelor of Science programs offshore are eligible to enter the honours course, assuming the pre-requisite entry criteria have been met.
