Honours and awards

Honours programmes offer broader and deeper learning opportunities for students who are both willing and able to take on the challenge alongside their Master's programme. Honours education is divided into two categories: faculty-based and university-wide. 

Honours within your field

Faculty-based honours provide greater depth within your area of study. These programmes give you the opportunity to focus on personal and professional development opportunities relevant to your field. With these programmes, you can shape your academic journey and delve deeper into what truly interests you.

University-wide programmes offer a unique opportunity to collaborate with students from across the university, as students from every faculty can enrol. These programmes provide fresh perspectives and help you develop essential skills for today’s interconnected world. They build your knowledge, skills, self-awareness, and confidence to tackle complex societal challenges.
