Honours 2011
The aims of the Honours program are to extend the candidate's knowledge and expertise within a selected discipline area and to prepare the candidate for employment or more extensive scientific research, which may lead to MSc and PhD degrees.
The Honours program comprises:
- Research project (thesis) - 60%
- Research communication - 10%
- 3 x 10% coursework modules - 30%
A major part of the program is a research project carried out under the supervision of an academic member (or members) of the School. The project should be such that it can reasonably be completed in 6-8 months and the nature of the project should be such that it can be expected to result in a paper publishable in a recognised scientific journal.
Students will be required to:
- present an initial seminar outlining their research design, and a final seminar on the results of their research project, and
- submit a thesis.
Three coursework modules will also be completed, including:
- literature review
- research design
- statistics and experimental design
