Synopsis

Honours  degrees  serve  to  foster  a  research  ethos  and  provide
opportunities  for  motivated  and  highly  qualified   students   to
undertake   advanced  study  and  to  produce  substantial   research
dissertations. Students develop the appropriate research skills which
allow  them  to  undertake research oriented careers, Masters  and/or
Doctoral level studies.

While the discipline-related coursework units allow students to  gain
a  thorough  understanding of the theoretical framework of particular
discipline   areas,  this  unit  will  provide  students   with   the
opportunity  to undertake independent critical research resulting  in
the production of a substantial research dissertation.

By completing the required research methods unit, and by working under
the guidance of a supervisor during the course of this unit, a student
should  successfully  acquire the appropriate  research  skills  which
would  allow  him/her to undertake research oriented careers,  Masters
and/or Doctoral level studies.
