Apply for Honours

Timing

We encourage students to submit their applications by 20 January rather than waiting to the final central deadline of 31 January. This maximises the chance of gaining appropriate supervision and gives adequate time to identify a topic and prepare a research proposal.

Eligibility

To be eligible for our Honours programs, you need to:

• have recently graduated and have completed a major in political science, international relations, public policy or peace and conflict studies
• have a grade point average of 5.5 or better from this major
• secure the agreement of a supervisor for their project.

Under certain circumstances, the Head of School may waive one or more of these requirements. Please read the following instructions to Honours applicants for more details about all entry requirements.

How to apply

Honours applications for POLSIS require you to complete a centralised online form for UQ administration and an internal application form (found here). Both these processes must be completed and submitted by 20th January.  Please note that the the internal form and your research proposal must be submitted to polsis@uq.edu.au. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by 27th January. 

Once you have prepared all required documentation, please submit your online application here.
