STH403-3 Honours Research Project 3

This is the capstone unit for the Science Honours degree that aims to draw together, and build upon, the theory, practice and discipline fundamentals that have been covered in your Bachelor degree. In this unit you will acquire the knowledge and skills essential to engaging with and conducting research, so that you may execute, complete and present your research or industry project. Initially, this unit introduces you to the research process, project planning and management, and methodologies used in science. You will then apply your knowledge to a discipline-related issue or problem and carry out an independent and in-depth study that will provide the opportunity to extend and broaden your understanding of your chosen research topic. You will be required to relate the project work to published work in your field of study. This unit will prepare you for your transition to the scientific workplace, and in particular, a career in research.
