Honours is a means for connecting undergraduate study with supervised independent research by consolidating and extending work completed in the undergraduate program and providing an academic foundation for students continuing on to a Professional Masters, Masters by research or a PhD.

As part of the Honours program students will be expected to complete a significant independent research project and coursework study.

Students will generally also be expected to undertake research literacy training, Integrity in research training, attend OH &

S and safety training in the Faculty's Squarehouse studios and present at Faculty research seminars.Read More
