Entry

The following factors are taken into account in selection and admission of Honours candidates:

It is expected that candidates who achieve 24 points (where the grades of High Distinction = 4, Distinction =3, Credit = 2, and Pass = 1 for each course successfully completed) in their best 36 units of credit of their final two years of degree study (48 units of credit) will be admitted.

However, candidates whose levels of achievement fall below these admission requirements for any particular year, may apply to the faculty concerned for special consideration of their applications.
