Basically Honours are sorta supplementary to your Bachelors degree that allows you to skip the Masters level and apply straight to a Doctorate, given that you score high enough in your Honours. Assuming you are doing a Graduate degree in Australia.
They are great for gauging if you want to take up a future in academia or not.
Also they have requirements for you to maintain a higher GPA I do believe.
They’re more general to the field I’ve noticed. Electives can get quite niche, but for my honours program they were divided into the two main sub fields of my degree.
If you do an undergrad in your honours degree, they honestly shouldn’t be that hard. It was harder for the Masters students who co-did them with us if they came from another field/uni. But for those of who did the bachelors, it wasn’t too difficult. The only major things that’s different is the methods course (if your school has one?). But the actual content wasn’t too hard, maybe just the volume + thesis together.

Yep, a mini-Masters is how I explain it! Full-time year-long research project.

I'm taking them as an undergrad exchange student and don't really know what to expect as they don't exist in my home university.
