Bachelor of Physiotherapy

Why do Honours?

Undertaking Honours gives you the opportunity to produce your own research, which will contribute to the research evidence for the physiotherapy profession. It may also be published and presented at relevant conferences to your peers.

Completing an Honours degree provides you with a stepping stone for further postgraduate study such as a PhD and healthcare research.  It offers you a wider range of employment opportunities as well as giving you an edge when presenting your CV for employment.

More about the program

You will undertake an Honours project and receive individual mentoring for two years in which time you will learn to be a critical consumer of research as well as developing the skills required to undertake research. 

Determination of the grade of Honours will depend on coursework performance in years three and four of the course as well as performance in the dissertation subject.

Eligibility

To be eligible for transfer into the Honours stream at the beginning of year three, students are required to achieve grades of Credit or above in at least 50% of first and second level subjects. Selection into the Honours stream will depend upon high academic merit and the availability of supervisors and research topics.
