For this weeks guest lecture we had the pleasure of Adrian Miles discussing the Honours program as a potential year of further study beyond completion of the Bachelor program at the end of this year. As one of my lectures for a previous subject and someone who is very knowledgeable, I was interested to hear from Adrian Miles. However more importantly, I have been looking forward to an opportunity to really clarify my understanding of the Honours program and therefore hopefully make a clearer decision regarding whether I wish to pursue it. After hearing from Adrian Miles I understand that there are many great aspects about the Honours program, such as the fact that it is not ‘an end’ but ‘the beginning of a transition/blend into further study or the industry’. However I conclude that Honours would be a great opportunity for a student with a clear head about the future pathway they intend to pursue in relation to their career. Unfortunately, due to my absence from this category I believe I have decided to conclude my studies at the end of the Bachelor program… for now. Adrian Miles guarantees us all that we will have to return to university at some stage in the future in order to progress our careers, however I am more interested in pursuing a career/lifestyle where I support and determine myself to achieve without the requirement for further study, such as with a small business. So that is the dream, as to whether that can be achieved without further study is a story for another day.
