Overview
Intending honours students
There is no dedicated honours for the human rights major. Students who complete a major in human rights and who satisfy the arts faculty's general entry requirements for honours may be admitted to honours in a related area of study, but their eligibility is at the discretion of the honours coordinator in that area of study. Students intending to progress to honours are strongly advised to consult with the human rights coordinator prior to completing their third year.
