First, History Honours encourages students to master a range of research skills that are specific to the academic study of History. These skills relate both to each student's specific research interests and also to issues common to the History discipline overall. Second, History Honours enables students to refine their skills in a range of general areas, to an extent that goes beyond that of the Pass degree.
Students complete seven units in the overall History Honours program. Students enrol in three one-semester coursework units: the compulsory unit HTA402 The Practice of History; and two Honours Seminars (one weighted at 12.5%, one weighted at 25%) chosen from a list which may vary from year to year (HTA412 - HTA415). These three coursework units comprise 50% of the overall assessment. Students also enrol in four thesis units (HTA445 - HTA448) during which students complete a thesis of 12,000 - 15,000 words, and related thesis activities, which comprise the other 50% of overall assessment. See individual unit descriptions for further details.
