Social Theory
Currently, there is no pure honours program in social theory. This means that students must combine fourth-year honours in social theory with another program in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne. The prerequisites for entry to social theory honours are completion of all the requirements for the BA, completion of a major in social theory and an average grade over the second/third year subjects within the major equivalent to at least an H2A (75%).
Students undertaking combined honours in Social Theory and another discipline must complete:
- 136-508 Social Theory Thesis (37.5 points); and
- Two honours subjects in Social Theory from the list of core honours subjects below (totalling 25 points); and
- Three honours subjects in the combining discipline (totalling 37.5 points).
- Honours thesis in the combining discipline (37.5 points); and
- Two honours subjects in the combining discipline (totalling 25 points); and
- Two honours subjects from the list of core honours subjects below (totalling 25 points); and
