Bachelor of Arts
Assessment (Internat.)
12-15000 word Thesis, plus four coursework units.
Outline
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) is a fourth-year program that often serves as a prelude to a higher degree in research or a professional qualification. Honours students focus on an area of interest, usually in the discipline/s in which they have majored. Within the multidisciplinary Honours course, studies in Literature, Film, Cultural Studies, Historical and Heritage Studies, Philosophy and Social Sciences are offered. The program involves four course-work units plus a dissertation of 12,000 to 15,000 words.
Career Opportunities
Honours graduates are highly valued for research work (academic and professional), and are especially prepared for a higher degree by research such as a PhD. The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) qualification demonstrates an advanced level of academic, research and writing skills which are of value in a range of research, teaching, and project officer positions.

Requirements
This program involves four coursework units plus a dissertation of 12,000-15,000 words. Within the multidisciplinary Honours course, studies in Literature, Film, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Historical and Heritage Studies and Social Sciences are offered. Honours in a single discipline area will usually require complementary enrolment in fourth year units from another university (chosen with guidance from staff in the School), or students may combine units from across the range of disciplines offered by the University of Ballarat. HY807 Cultural Studies in Theory may provide a theoretical underpinning for units in literature, film, history, and the social sciences, as well as an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of cultural studies. Because of the size of the course, it is an advantage to enrol by early December in order to have preferences taken into account for the following year’s coursework offerings.
