Bachelor of Podiatric Medicine (Honours)

Honours is a key early step in the path to leadership in the profession and opens up the world of research, without taking any longer to complete the degree. The honours program encourages independent learning, develops research skills and provides an opportunity for deeper investigation in the major field of study. As a high achieving student you may apply for entry into the Honours program in year 3 of your Bachelor degree. You then begin advanced research training in the latter half of year 3. Clinical placements and an honours thesis are completed during the fourth year of the program. The thesis presents research that addresses real podiatric problems and education across the lifespan. This research will be conducted under the supervision of experienced academic researchers.

Students must have completed 200 credit points in the first two and a half years of the Western Sydney Bachelor of Physiotherapy program and achieved a GPA of 6.0 or greater. Students with a GPA in the range of 5.0-6.0 and a credit average in subjects completed in Bachelor of Physiotherapy Levels 2 and 3 will also be considered (in accordance with the Honours Policy clause 13 and the Graduations Policy clause 53).
