This subject provides students who do not meet the criteria for Honours to undertake a research project related to a discipline area selected by the student, in consultation with academic staff, for an undergraduate Bachelor degree in the School of Animal and Veterinary Science. It is one of two, non-honours research subjects (ASC416, ASC432) within the School of Animal and Veterinary Science, which when combined with the Faculty of Science Special Topic subjects (SCI401, SCI402) allows a sufficiently flexible combination of subjects to reflect the subject equivalent load of their research project. Within these subjects, students will develop an increased knowledge in a nominated discipline, and develop research, verbal and written skills.
Students are required to have a GPA of at least 4 (pass average), and enrolment in a project is dependent on the availability of an appropriate project and approval by a project supervisor.
No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2019.

This will be selected to meet the needs of the individual student. Topics must be approved by the Course Coordinator and/or the supervisor of the project.
Assessment items will include a combination of at least three of the following: literature review, conference poster, seminar, written dissertation and progress reports.
Review of progress (through progress reports) will allow identification of problem areas which may lead to a project of shorter duration. This will necessitate a re-evaluation of the student's course structure to allow the student to progress.
