This is a 20 credit point year-long subject taken over two terms (10 credit points in each term). This subject provides honours level students with the opportunity to undertake research on a specialist topic within their program of undergraduate studies. Each student is assigned to a supervisor (an expert researcher) based on the chosen research topic. Students are expected to meet the supervisor regularly and work progressively to complete the research. This research will be an extended investigation of a chosen subject that is undertaken using appropriate research methods. In addition to the specialist knowledge on the chosen research topic, students will learn a range of skills including academic writing, project management, critical thinking and analytical skills.
