Honours Project 1 | Federation University

ARHON4104 Honours Project 1

This is the first in a sequence of two subjects in which students complete their Honours thesis. Under supervision, students formulate a question and then research and write an extended research thesis of 12,000 to 15,000 words or equivalent (for example, creative practice with exegesis). The thesis demonstrates students' advanced knowledge and skills as relevant to their discipline. The topic must be approved by the disciplinary honours coordinator and/or supervisor.This unit will compose of regular discussions between the student and the individual supervisor to progress their research thesis and/or creative deliverables. It will have a strong focus on building thesis drafts/early versions from existing units that have scaffolded the student towards the final research output.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,185
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,185

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
