The purpose of Honours within the Discipline of Computational Design is to enable students who have performed well at undergraduate level to deepen their knowledge of design methods, literature and history by undertaking a significant research project. Honours is a means for connecting undergraduate study with supervised independent research by consolidating and extending work completed in the undergraduate program and providing an academic foundation for students continuing on to a Professional Masters, Masters by research or a PhD. As part of the Honours program students will be expected to complete a significant independent research project and coursework study. Students will generally also be expected to undertake research literacy training, Integrity in research training, attend OH & S and safety training in the Faculty's Squarehouse studios and present at Faculty research seminars.

Admission Requirements

Bachelor degree in Computational Design with the equivalent of a UNSW Credit average.

The Bachelor of Computational Design (Honours) program will enable students to expand and deepen their understanding of Computational Design and will assist them to develop highly sought after analytical, problem solving and research skills through undertaking advanced coursework and a significant independent research thesis.

Prescribed Electives:

Students must take 6 UOC of the following courses:*

Student must take 6 UOC from the following courses:**

Or any PG elective option offered by faculties within UNSW, which is relevant to the area of research and approved by the discipline director.

The classes of Honours awarded are Class 1 or Class 2 Division 1 or Class 2 Division 2. Students need to achieve the following to qualify for the various classes of Honours:

Honours 1: WAM of 85 and above in Honours Year
