Studying honours offers a chance to develop your research and professional skills guided by staff who are passionate about research and the development of new researchers. Honours is an integral component of many UNSW courses or may be offered as an additional year of study to meritorious students.
UNSW enabling courses
UNSW offers a range of enabling courses as pathways to degree-level studies for students who would not otherwise qualify for admission. Four enabling courses are provided for educationally disadvantaged school leavers aged 17–19 years and a separate enabling course is available for post-school applicants aged 20 or above.
If you successfully complete an enabling course and gain admission to a bachelor degree you may be awarded credit for some of the subjects undertaken in your enabling course. Places in UNSW's enabling courses are Commonwealth supported and, unlike bachelor programs, you are not required to pay a student contribution.
