When does honours usually begin? (1 Viewer)

I'm thinking of doing honours in either pharmacology or biochemistry in 2015, but i may be going on a holiday and wanted to know when i'd have to be back. I read in the faculty of science honours handbook that it starts early Feb, but not an exact date, so I was wondering in past years (or this year) if anyone knows when it starts?
Also, how manageable is the work load for honours?
Thanks in advance

Usually in the final year of your degree.

Pretty much this.

Your honours year will feel just like any other year except you'll be working on a thesis rather than normal units of study.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get in!

My supervisor suggested to get all your reading done over the summer. It seriously frees up your time.
