CSU's Bachelor of Arts (Honours) builds on analytical and critical thinking skills in a specialised field chosen by the individual student, enhancing communication and research skills and preparing for further postgraduate study. After completion of the three-year Bachelor of Arts, students may undertake a fourth year of full-time study (or two years part-time) in Art History, English, History, Philosophy, Politics or Sociology and graduate with Honours. Like the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) is offered on campus and online. A mid-year intake is also available. Students qualified to enter the Honours program should consider its advantages, particularly the development of higher level analytical skills and enhanced expertise in research and communication. Completion of an Honours degree is also a prerequisite for admission to a postgraduate research degree.

Graduates with a good academic record will also be eligible to apply for entry to a research higher degree, such as the Doctor of Philosophy. Honours are offered in the disciplines of Art History, English, History, Philosophy, Politics and Sociology.
