The honours year is a modular based educational experience that covers a broad array of dedicated geoscience skills and topics. Each module is presented using a combination of educational approaches and paradigms and modes of delivery include formal lectures, blended learning, and hands-on practical exposures. In addition to the diversity of experiences, highlights from the year-long course include a two week field school and mine tour, and the research thesis in which Honour's students apply their knowledge and skills towards answering outstanding scientific research questions.
