Science Honours

Anatomy and Histology

Taking an Honours degree provides the opportunity for students to undertake a full-time research project supervised by a member of academic staff. A list of the current projects offered can be found on the Anatomy and Histology website. Assessment is based on a thesis summarising the results of the year's research, along with a final seminar and participation in weekly meetings with peers.

To be eligible for Honours, the student needs to obtain an appropriate standard in Senior Anatomy, Histology or Neuroscience units, and have a SciWAM of 65. As departmental permission is required to be admitted to the Honours program, all candidates must meet with the Honours coordinator before the end of semester two of the preceding year (semester one for mid-year applicants) to discuss your intentions to undertake honours in Anatomy and Histology. Following these discussions you may lodge a formal application with the Faculty of Science.
