9. Honours eligibility and honours scores in ILFR degrees
1. Bachelor of Forestry, Bachelor of Agricultural Science and Bachelor of Forest Science:
On completion of fourth year, the Institute determines the award of honours degrees on the basis of average marks in third-year and fourth-year subjects. Honours degrees at H3 level are not awarded in the Bachelor of Agricultural Science and Bachelor of Forest Science. The third-year average mark is the weighted average of the seven best third-year subjects. The fourth-year average mark is the weighted average of all fourth-year subjects. These year averages are then weighted by multiplying the third-year average marks by 0.333 and the fourth year average marks by 0.666. The resulting figures are summed to give the 'honours score'.
2. Bachelor of Applied Science:
Entry to the various BAppSc honours degrees is determined on the basis of an application lodged by the student. Students must have obtained at least an average of third-class honours (H3) in the third-year subjects of their pass degree course. Students who have completed studies other than the BAppSc may be eligible to enrol in the BAppSc honours program provided that they have completed another approved course. The award of honours is determined on the basis of the weighted average mark of all subjects taken in the BAppSc honours program. Individual honours programs may have more specific requirements detailed in the University Handbook.
3. Bachelor of Agriculture, Bachelor of Horticulture, Bachelor of Resource Management, Bachelor of Animal Science and Management, Bachelor of Food Science:
To be eligible for consideration for entry into honours in the above named degrees, applicants must have:
achieved an average of 65 in the third year (300 level) subjects in their Institute undergraduate degree, or:
completed an equivalent qualification to the Institute undergraduate degree, this qualification being recognised by the Institute, at a level of academic performance equivalent to that required in the point above.
On completion of the fourth (honours) year, the Institute determines the award of honours degrees on the basis of average marks in third-year and fourth-year subjects. The third-year average mark is the weighted average of the seven best third-year subjects. The fourth-year average mark is the weighted average of all fourth-year subjects. These year averages are then weighted by multiplying the third-year average marks by 0.333 and the fourth-year average marks by 0.666. The resulting figures are summed to give the 'honours score'.
4. Combined degrees
Calculation of honours scores for forestry, agriculture, forest science and agricultural science in the combined BFor/BSc, BFor/BCom, BAg/BCom, BForSc/BSc, BForSc/BCom, and BAgSc/BCom degrees occurs similarly to the respective single degree. Honours in commerce or science is awarded independently. The relevant ILFR honours score is thus calculated by multiplying the third-year average mark by 0.333, the fourth-year average mark by 0.666, and summing the resulting figures to give the 'honours score'. The third year-average mark is the weighted average of the seven best 300-level ILFR subjects. The fourth-year average mark is the weighted average of the 400-level ILFR subjects given their full points value, and the 300-level science or commerce subjects (whichever is applicable) scaled down to total 100 minus the points value of the 400-level ILFR subjects.
