These courses are optional and run alongside the standard Honours Program curriculum. Students who complete them leave university with a head start on professional qualification.
Three delivery formats
Platform learning
All core and elective content is available on Decagon's own learning platform. Students work through modules at their own pace, with structured deadlines and progress tracking.
Monthly masterclass
Once a month, students attend a live masterclass led by a practitioner from their track. Masterclasses cover current industry topics and give students direct access to working professionals.
One-on-one feedback sessions
Students receive regular one-on-one feedback on their work from a track mentor. Sessions focus on practical output: projects, assignments, and career preparation tasks.
The Honours Program is open now.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Early applicants receive priority placement.
