| Offered By: | Faculty of Arts | | Duration: | 4 years full-time | | Minimum: | 192 units | | Academic Plan: | 4140HBPHIL | | CRICOS Code: | 048427K | | 2009 Annual Fees: | A$20,400 | | | The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)is an exciting research-focused degree at the ANU. It is an integrated program leading to an Honours award. It is designed for intellectually ambitious students who aspire to study at the highest level. Every student receives intensive individual attention from an academic advisor. The PhB is flexible in its structure with your program determined each year in collaboration with your academic advisor. One quarter of your studies in the first three years will consist of individually tailored advanced studies courses specifically designed to provide you with a strong base in research. In these courses, you might do a reading course or literature review with an academic. In the fourth year you will undertake an Honours year centred around one Arts discipline. It will be possible to accelerate the program to complete in three years by taking extra courses in Year 1 and by undertaking Advanced Studies or internship courses in breaks. To qualify for this degree, you will need to complete all of the course requirements, at High Distinction level, and complete the Honours year with first class honours. After your completion of the equivalent of each 48 units for the degree, the Faculty will determine whether your level of performance is sufficient to remain in the degree program. It will be possible to transfer to another undergraduate degree program of the Faculty and receive credit for work successfully completed in the PhB. Through the PhB, it is possible to specialise in areas as diverse as Ancient Greek, anthropology, applied linguistics, archaeology, art history, Australian studies, biological anthropology, classics, contemporary Europe, development studies, English, film studies, French, gender, sexuality and culture, geography, German, history, human ecology, international relations, Italian, Latin, linguistics, musicology, philosophy, political science, population studies, psychology, sociology and theatre studies. A strict quota will apply to enrolments in this degree program. |

Turkish Major Career Possibilities The PhB is an ideal path to take if you are already aiming for a career in research, but it is equally good if you decide to enter the workforce directly, as you will not only have gained the academic and generic skills normally obtained within an arts degree but will have gained highly marketable skills in independent research, oral and written communication and also in teamwork.
