The Faculty of Business offers an Honours program 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:

1. develop, at an advanced undergraduate level, knowledge of leisure, tourism, sport and exercise management or human movement through research
2. facilitate the completion of a substantive research thesis which focuses on theory, applied/professional issues or some combination of these
3. provide a direct pathway to graduate level study, and
4. make contributions to knowledge in the field of leisure, tourism, sport and exercise management or human movement.

Admission requirements

Admission to the Honours program is open to students who have successfully completed the BM in Leisure, the BA in Sport and Exercise Management, the BM in Tourism or the BA in Human Movement Studies, and who have maintained 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 will be considered for admission. Final selection will be based on academic merit.

Entry by professional experience

In exceptional cases, consideration will be given to applicants who have completed the BM in Leisure, the BA in Sport and Exercise Management, the BM in Tourism or the BA in Human Movement Studies at Pass level. These applicants may, within a period of three calendar years from their graduation, apply for admission to the Honours program. In such cases, where applicants may not have fully met the criteria listed above, outstanding professional achievements will be taken into account. Each particular application in this category will be considered on its merits.

Attendance
