Honours in RSB has two enrolments: February and July. It is important you
make your decision regarding Honours early. The School has a limited number
of Honours places and there are quotas on the number of students that a supervisor
may take.
You should finalise your decision by the end of November (whether starting
in February or July). Some supervisors select their students as early as July,
so the sooner you enroll, the more likely you are to get the supervisor and
project that you want.
Entry requirements

the 2009 Honours guidelines for entry requirements. Note: ANU Science
units count as 6 points. If you are not from the ANU, contact the College
of Science to determine equivalent grades.
Application Process
Students are responsible for arranging their own Honours supervision. Usually
your primary supervisor would be a member of the Research School of Biology
academic staff. You should contact potential supervisors well in advance of
your proposed date of enrollment. Staff from outside RSB (e.g. JCSMR, Fenner, CSIRO)
may also supervise Honours students. External or inexperienced supervisors
may require a co-supervisor; check the requirements of the program in which
you intend to enrol, or contact the Honours convenor. Co-supervisors are
required to ensure that you follow the correct rules and requirements of the
program. Once supervision has been arranged, complete the nomination of supervisor
form in consultation with your supervisor, and submit to the relevant Honours
Convener.
ANU students submit the Honours Application form, and the Nomination of Supervisor
form to the Honours Convener.
International and domestic non-ANU students submit the relevant application
form to Student Administration Services (address details are given on the
form), and the Nomination of Supervisor form to the relevant Honours Convener.
