Monash Honours Project

The Monash Honours Project will reform Honours at Monash and make our Honours offerings the best in Australia.  This will be achieved by:

  • adding depth and weight to the Honours experience at Monash;
  • uncoupling Honours from the current four year model, allowing students to undertake research training at various points in their coursework programs;
  • creating and maintaining the best possible pathways to HDR within faculties, research centres and institutes;
  • placing a global imprint on Honours programs; and
  • embedding internships and socially relevant projects in the suite of Honours offerings.

This suite of reforms will deliver many advantages to Monash that facilitate achievement of the Monash Directions 2025 goals and the Academic Plan 2006 – 2010 objectives.  These include:

  • attracting more of the brightest and best students into Monash degree programs;
  • raising standards within degree programs;
  • creating more engaging academic experience for Monash students;
  • creating more supervision and development opportunities for staff whilst providing more opportunities to work with the most able students;
  • facilitating transition to HDR amongst the most qualified students and thereby increasing the quality of our HDR cohort and the quality of their preparation for HDR; and
  • facilitating the best use of our campus and discipline diversity through the creation of globally relevant, cross-campus and interdisciplinary experiences.

It is expected that the reforms resulting from this project will enrich theHonours experience for Monash students and staff and have a positive impacton Honours participation rates.
