Current Students - Honours Students who complete an Honours Degree in Economics are much better placed in the labour market by comparison with students in possession of an ordinary Bachelor degree. In particular, employers such as the Federal or State Treasury, or Reserve Bank of Australia usually recruit Honours graduates and have cadetships for students contemplating Honours. Similarly, employment prospects in the private sector are also enhanced, as international consulting firms usually require an Honours degree. For those contemplating further postgraduate study an Honours degree is a necessary first step. Students with a first class Honours degree from Adelaide have performed well in Ph.D. programs in Australia, the United States and the U.K. Economics Students completing the core courses to a high standard and meet the requiements for their undergraduate degree are invited by the School of Economics to apply to understake a fourth, or Honours year.
