The Bachelor of Arts honours year is both a preparation for postgraduate study and a capstone to an undergraduate degree. Honours can culminate your formal education, hone your research abilities, and helps you to develop personal and professional skills. This course may be suitable for undergraduate students with one major. Honours can also be the first step on a path to a career as an academic or professional researcher.

Ancient History Honours
