THIS PROGRAM IS FOR STUDENTS TRANSFERRING INTO HONOURS FROM PROGRAM 3458 BACHELOR OF MUSIC BACHELOR OF ADVANCED SCIENCE (HONOURS) THROUGH A UNSW INTERNAL PROGRAM TRANSFER.

The Dual award degree Bachelor of Music (Honours) Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) is a six-year program (full-time).

The Bachelor of Music (Honours) is specifically for high-achieving students already admitted to the Bachelor of Music program. It allows Bachelor of Music students to spend their final year of study completing a research thesis or a practice-based research project and thesis as well as undertaking discipline specific research training through the coursework component.

The Advanced Science (Honours) program is designed to challenge you with an interest in critical thinking, research and innovation. The development of depth of understanding and practical skills in a discipline is a key part of the program; however, the degree also focuses on instilling a culture of research and enquiry through early induction into the research ethos and access to research groups and facilities. In their final year students undertake an Honours program, which involves a supervised research project and in some cases advanced level coursework. Outstanding Honours students may continue their studies in a higher research degree.
