Honours

Students who have completed a relevant bachelor's degree, either at JCU or another institution, and wish to complete an honours year should follow these steps to apply.

Note: This is only for honours programs that are not already part of a degree. For undergraduate degrees with an embedded honours component, please apply for your course through QTAC using the instructions for school leavers and new students near the start of this section.

Application steps

1 — Explore your options and check entry requirements

Explore your options on the JCU course pages and find your preferred degree. Check that you meet all applicable entry requirements.

2 — Have your USI number ready

You will need your Unique Student Identifier (USI) to commence your application. If you do not have a USI, you will need to create one before commencing your application.

3 — Complete your application in the JCU Online Portal

Open the JCU Online Application Portal and follow the steps to submit your application.

4 — Await the outcome of your application
