Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (Honours)
Learning outcomes
The Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (Honours) can be completed after meeting the requirements of the 3-year specialist degree and the progression requirements for Honours.
Students complete a piece of research and present their results in some combination of a written report or thesis, a presentation, and/or an oral examination, however the nature, style, combination, and assessment weighting of these components varies from discipline to discipline. A student’s Honours thesis is completed under the auspices of the supervisor, and the student-supervisor relationship constitutes a one-to-one pedagogical mode that can be difficult to examine closely.
