Prerequisites

EXSC407 Honours Thesis (Part A)

Incompatible

EXSC408 Honours Thesis (Part B)

Teaching organisation

300 hours of focused learning. These two units (EXSC414 and EXSC415) combined equate to the full-time 40 cp Honours Thesis (Part B).

Unit rationale, description and aim

The thesis units form the capstone of the Honours degree. These supervisor-led units respect the individual as an independent and active learner, allowing them to further develop and implement their theoretical and technical knowledge and skills by designing, conducting and communicating a research project in a collaborative and collegial environment. This unit is directly linked to the pre-requisite unit, Honours Thesis (Part A), and complements the coursework portion of the degree by allowing students to use the research skills and discipline specific knowledge they have developed in a real world, research setting. The aim of these units is to report the results of a research project in the form of an academic thesis to be submitted for independent examination following the existing University policy.
