How can I explain succinctly to a British audience the scope and magnitude of honours supervision?

I suggest emphasizing the similarity to Masters.

Something like:

In Australia Honours is a postgraduate degree, very similar to a heavily condensed Masters degree. It runs in 1 year, instead of 2; and like most Masters comprises coursework, and a research thesis competent. A Honours degree, can allow talented students to fast-track theretheir entry into a PhD progromprogram. Australian universities and scholarship organizers consider earning high marks in Honours as equivalent to completing a regular Masters.

If that is too long, just use the first sentence or 2. Give them enough so they know what to lookup. But that explains the scope of the honours, not the scope of the supervision.
