Academic entry requirements

  • To qualify for admission: • Applicants must have completed the requirements for a Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (or equivalent) including a major in the proposed honours subject area at the University of Sydney, or equivalent studies at another institution; and • Applicants must have a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65 or equivalent or a higher mark in the proposed honours subject area; and • Applicants meet any other requirements for honours entry set by the Faculty of Science. Please note that satisfying the above admission requirements does not guarantee an offer. Entry is also dependent on the availability of research supervisors and/or suitability of research project. The University's Coursework Rule requires Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (Honours) students to complete their Honours program within 10 years of the commencement of their original qualifying Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience degree (or equivalent). As such, if your original Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience degree (or equivalent) was commenced more than 10 years ago or close to 10 years ago, you may be ineligible for admission. Applicants whose original Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience degree (or equivalent) was commenced more than 10 years ago or close to 10 years ago are strongly recommended to seek advice from the Admissions Office prior to submitting an application for Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (Honours). The Admissions Office will consult and confer with the relevant contacts in the Faculty of Science and the relevant School as appropriate. Please note that, in some Schools and Disciplines, the minimum WAM requirement is higher than 65.00, particularly where entry is very competitive. For example, a minimum WAM of 75.00 is generally required for entry into Honours in Psychology. * Relevant units of study must be nominated by the School or Discipline and must be accompanied by strong written support from the School or Discipline. Willingness of a member of academic staff to act as your supervisor does not guarantee entry into Honours. However, admission into Honours is subject to an appropriate supervisor and project being available.
