Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science in Biblical Studies and Classical Hebrew (Honours)

The University of Sydney

The honours year after the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science is a widely recognised and highly regarded additional year of undergraduate study available to you after you complete your undergraduate course. It's a unique opportunity for you to explore your research potential and put the theory from your undergraduate studies into practice. An honours qualification in science or arts is not only well regarded in academia, but also in industry where laboratory experience and/or a command of complex thought processes are highly sought after. Honours can be undertaken in any area of science or arts, usually in the subject area in which you completed most of your studies. It involves designing a research program in your chosen area of interest in consultation with one or more supervisors. Your research program may include components in more than one area of science or arts (eg. physiology and biology) and depending on the nature of your project you may also have to undertake some courses in experimental design or complete technical training to use a particular piece of equipment.The fourth year honours program in Biblical Studies and Classical Hebrew allows you to undertake advanced seminars on biblical compositions and themes, and write a research thesis on a topic of your choice. A high proportion of students who major in Biblical Studies and Classical Hebrew continue to an Honours year. To qualify for honours you must complete the major with an average of 70 percent or above, normally including at least two Classical Hebrew units of study.
