Entry
The following factors are taken into account in selection and admission of Honours candidates:
- the applicant's academic record
- the availability of an appropriate supervisor or supervisors for the applicant, and agreement between the applicant and nominated supervisor(s) on a suitable dissertation topic
- the lapse in time since an applicant qualified for the award of a bachelor degree
It is expected that candidates who achieve a GPA of 5 in their final 2 years of degree study 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.
