Honours subject area
An honours year in Health will deepen your understanding of health and health systems at the local, national, and global levels.
The honours year represents the bridge between undergraduate studies (which are content-driven) and postgraduate studies (which are research-driven).
During honours, you will undertake a major research project on a specialised topic under the direction of a supervisor (and sometimes a co-supervisor), submit a thesis embodying the results of your investigation and undertake the relevant coursework.
