The Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Honours) is an additional year of intensive study that high achieving students may undertake after completing an undergraduate degree.
This course requires two undergraduate majors to have been completed.
This course extends your prior studies, deepening your expertise in your chosen field and enabling you to pursue further research, such as a PhD and equips you with attributes for a range of careers. You will learn vital research skills and extend your knowledge and critical thinking skills by undertaking an independent research project under academic supervision and through challenging honours coursework.
This course replaces the ‘appended honours’ pathway for many of our undergraduate degrees, and is available to students who have completed an eligible bachelor’s degree at the University of Sydney or another university. It is also available to students enrolled in a combined professional/liberal studies degree at the University of Sydney who wish to undertake honours under the liberal studies component of their degree.
While this course is our new standard honours offering, in some circumstances students will still be able to complete the traditional honours course. To find out more about other honours options visit, our Study honours page.
Alternatively, if you wish to develop your skills in collaborative problem-solving and inquiry, you may wish to opt for the advanced coursework pathway of the Bachelor of Advanced Studies. Please visit the Bachelor of Advanced Studies Coursework page for more information.
