The Honours year enables students to build on work completed in the undergraduate program, either to strengthen their existing qualification, or prepare for postgraduate research. To complete Honours in Communication Studies, a student must complete 48 points of study by taking four seminar units (each worth 6 points; a total of 24 points) and a dissertation (worth 24 points). This work can be completed full time (over 1 year) or part time (over 18 months or 2 years). More information on the Honours program can be found here.
The 2009 Honours booklet is available by clicking here or you can pick up a copy from the Communication Studies office (ground floor, Arts building). Enrolment pathway: Concepts in Communication (6 points) Advanced Communication Project (6 points) iGeneration: Communication and Participatory Culture (6 points) Designing Virtual Play (6 points) Dissertation (12,000-15,000 words; 24 points)
