Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:

- demonstrate knowledge and skills relevant to conducting research, especially for entry to higher degree courses;
- demonstrate an advanced level of knowledge in the area of specialisation;
- demonstrate verbal and written skills relevant to advanced studies.

Syllabus:

The subject will cover the following topics:

All Honours students are required to submit at least two progress reports during their program as well as present at least one seminar on their research topic. This mid-term review of progress will allow the identification of problem areas which may lead to reduced progress and completion rates in individual courses or students, thus enabling the re-evaluation of course structures and student workloads, as appropriate.
