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.
