Ancient World Studies

A major in Ancient World Studies with an average of at least H2A (75%) in second and third-year subjects within the major, or equivalent

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.

• ANCW40013 Ancient World Studies Thesis (50 points) and
• ANCW40014 Research in Ancient World Studies (12.5 points); and
