Overview

The Honours program is designed to provide students with the resources to further develop and apply their research skills and to pursue special areas of interest in depth.

Course aims

The Honours program aims to develop, at an advanced undergraduate level, knowledge of human movement through research; facilitate the completion of a substantive research thesis which focuses on theory, applied/professional issues or some combination of these; provide a direct pathway to graduate-level study; and make contributions to knowledge in the field of human movement.

Career options

Career options include exercise therapy and teaching of personal development, facility management, fitness and corporate health, health, physical education and outdoor education, health promotion, sports coaching, sports development, sports management, sports science and team conditioning.

Additional admission requirements

Admission to the Honours program is open to students who have successfully completed the Bachelor of Arts in Human Movement Studies (C11041), with a Credit average or better in the final two full-time semesters.

Graduates from other institutions who have completed a comparable course and who meet the academic criteria are also considered for admission. In exceptional cases, consideration is given to applicants who have completed the Bachelor of Management in Leisure (C10039), the Bachelor of Arts in Sport and Exercise Management (C10046), the Bachelor of Management in Tourism (C10040) or the Bachelor of Arts in Human Movement Studies (C10041) at Pass level. In such cases, outstanding professional achievements are taken into account. Each particular application in this category is considered on its merits.

Course duration and attendance

The Honours component is normally completed in one year of full-time or two years of part-time study. It is offered only at Kuring-gai campus.

Course structure

All students must complete three coursework subjects, each worth 6 credit points, and a major thesis of 30 credit points, totalling 48 credit points. The precise nature of each student's program is determined in consultation with the Honours Course Coordinator, with the aim of choosing those subjects that will facilitate completion of the Honours Research Thesis.

In choosing electives, students may:

substitute (27154) Readings for Thesis with an elective subject with the approval of the Course Coordinator
complete both elective subjects in the first semester
choose other senior undergraduate level subjects with the approval of the Course Coordinator; these subjects may be taken from other Schools within the Faculty or elsewhere in the University.
