Overview:	The minimum entry requirement for honours is completion of all the requirements for the BA, with a major in completion of a major in ancient and medieval studies, medieval and Renaissance studies, or Renaissance and early modern studies, and an average grade over the second/third year subjects within the major/minor equivalent to at least an H2B (70%).
Objectives:	The Honours program is an advanced level of study designed to allow students to specialise their knowledge across one area of study (pure Honours) or two (combined Honours). Students accepted into the program undertake fourth-year level subjects and a short research thesis and must achieve honours-level grades (minimum 65%-H3) for each component of assessment in order to qualify for the award. The opportunity to specialise provides a strong foundation for the future direction of graduates, whether as a means of progressing to higher degree research in Arts at the Masters or PhD level, or improving the scope of employment options and professional advancement. Students with Honours from Melbourne Arts record exceptionally high rates of satisfaction with the professional and academic directions they pursue beyond graduation.
Structure & Available Subjects:	Students undertaking honours in ancient and medieval studies, medieval and renaissance studies, or Renaissance and early modern studies must complete: a thesis subject (37.5 points) - from English or History honours depending on the area of study a research methods subject (12.5 points) from English or History honours depending on the area of study elective subjects (totalling 50 points)
