Program Code - Title: BH049 - Bachelor of Arts (International Studies) (Honours)
City campus
2008 RMIT Open Day, Sunday 12 August, 10am - 4pm
Honours has traditionally been the pathway to a research career through a postgraduate research thesis or directly to professional research outside the education sector. The Honours year both supplements and distinguishes the undergraduate experience by 'bringing it all together' at a more advanced level of analysis and insight. The International Studies Honours Program is designed for students who wish to develop the skills of independent researchers, cultural innovators and critically reflective leaders in government, business, international aid and development, and international education. The Honours Program facilitates that goal primarily through the design, research and writing of a scholarly thesis (or in some cases its project equivalent) supplemented with course work that provides a firmer grounding in the field and in broader research methods.
