Embedded in ACU's vibrant arts, social sciences and humanities community, you will receive the support, guidance, and mentorship to succeed throughout your research journey.

Honours students can take advantage of our exciting field trips that change from year to year – to destinations like Canberra and even Rome!
Honours internships are a distinctive aspect of the ACU Bachelor of Arts Honours degree. Students may undertake an internship in a community organisation in an area that complements their Honours study.
"I was one of six representatives of ACU to the Victorian Parliamentary internship where I developed a research report on the state of rural health in Shepparton. Working with Suzanna Sheed (Independent MP for Shepparton), I interviewed local doctors, members of the primary health network and representatives from rural health universities to create a report that was submitted to a senate inquiry. This was a needed report that had real-world impact."
The National School of Arts and Humanities has partnered with Clunes Booktown Festival for two years' running. Attended by thousands of visitors in the historic township of Clunes in Regional Victoria. In 2023, four of our Honours students helped develop the 2024 program as part of their Honours Internship unit.
"One of the highlights of the Clunes festival this year was enjoying the panels curated by our Honours students. The organisers particularly valued their creative imagination and energy."
