Honours in Australian Higher Education Website

Have you ever wondered...

What is the role of Honours; does it have core characteristics; what future opportunities does it offer; does it have multiple uses?

If so, we've developed a website to help you

www.aushons.anu.edu.au

This site is a product of The Role of Honours in contemporary Australian Higher Education project. The project was funded by ALTC and executed by ANU, The University of Newcastle, The University of Queensland, and The University of Technology, Sydney.

The study was initiated due to the shifting direction of Honours. In the past ten to fifteen years, Australian universities and discipline clusters have been reviewing the direction of Honours, and in many cases revising their practices.

The site provides useful information for academic staff, graduate students and industry groups.

The site also enables you to access an Issues Paper, Findings Paper and student survey. You can even search our database to find the Honours curricular that you're interest in via: discipline, assessment and university type. Alternatively, scroll through our Honours listing to view various Honours curricula.
