We warmly invite students who have completed a BA degree to consider undertaking an Honours year at Otago or, if they wish to study part-time, to consider a Postgraduate Diploma in Arts over several years.
Some students undertake an Honours year in preparation for postgraduate study, while others wish to develop their research skills and critical thinking before entering the workforce. Our fourth-year graduates agree that Honours is an intense and rewarding year.
View full regulations for entry to the BA(Hons) on the University website
Applications for Honours are due by 10 December each year.

ENGL 490 Dissertation (on a topic of your choice, to be agreed with the ENGL 490 co-ordinator), and two further 400-level ENGL papers
When considering a dissertation topic, it is a good idea to consult our staff pages to gain a sense of the expertise on offer.
