An Honours program is available in each of the degree specialisations. The aim of the honours program is to provide a course of advanced study at a fourth year level which builds on the knowledge and skills developed at degree level, and to prepare students for postgraduate research by developing skills in: working independently, critical analysis of information, problem-solving, devising, designing and conducting experimental work and written and oral communication.

The courses are offered on a full-time basis over one year or equivalent if on a part-time basis. Entry to the Honours program for the Conservation Biology and Environmental Management specialisation can be either at the beginning of the academic year (February) or at a mid-year intake (July) to allow for field-based research with seasonal limitations.
