Admission and Unit Information - Bachelor of Science (Honours)

The aim of this unit is to further develop the student's research and problem solving skills. The student is required to implement a research plan, complete a substantive piece of research in a relevant field within Science, Technology and the Environment and to communicate the results of that work to an interested and technically literate audience. Students will present their research as a thesis with a substantial chapter detailing research objectives, methodology and research outcomes. The thesis topic and structure will vary according to the area of interest of the student and the expertise of the supervisor. The project is meant to be a significant undertaking and to incorporate some element of innovation. Throughout this unit regular planned consultations between the student and supervisor(s) will occur and students will be required to attend seminar series or regular research meetings; these may be formal components of other units within the Bachelor (Honours) course. Students are expected to work to a schedule devised in consultation with their supervisor. The schedule will include dates set for progress reports and the presentation of draft chapters for review by the supervisor. The unit builds upon the skills developed in the undergraduate course, extending students' competencies in a range of practical techniques and processes of critical thinking. Students who successfully complete the Honours program will have achieved the appropriate background to enable them to pursue further postgraduate research and/or coursework in the sciences or pursue a career in industry or profession.

This unit will allow students to explore more advanced topics, including wider areas of research and their applications in science, technology, tourism or the environment. It will encompass and build upon subject areas and techniques already encountered in the undergraduate program, and provide students with an appreciation of more sophisticated applications of scientific principles, emphasising the practical, social, environmental and/or economic value of the sciences. In addition, students will further develop competency in the communication of research results and conclusions through participation in seminar series within the College of Science, Technology and Environment.
