Entry requirements for a Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) in Communications and Media Studies, Criminology, Victimology and Criminal Justice, Geography and Environmental Science and International Studies.

Monash students, who are or have been, enrolled in a BSocSci qualify for admission to a fourth-year Honours programme provided that they have:

  • completed the normal requirements for that degree;
  • completed a major sequence (eight units or more over three years) within their chosen discipline(s);
  • obtained average grades of 70% in four units in the Honours discipline(s) at second and third-year levels. Three of these units must be at third-year level.

The entry requirements for a Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) in Psychology are a major in Psychology in an undergraduate degree accepted by the Australian Psychological Society (a Monash degree is one of the degrees accepted) and a minimum of a 75% aggregate in thirdyear level Psychology subjects.

Students qualified to enter an Honours programme must normally do so within five years of the date on which they completed their undergraduate studies. Students from another faculty or institution should contact the School of Social Science at Monash South Africa for more information.

Note: These Honours programmes will be offered given sufficient student interest. All applications are subject to approval from the Head of the School of Social Science.
