Our Honours Programme

• Thesis (~25,000 words; November submission)
• Seminar (~20 minute; November). You will present your year's work to the Discipline.
• Essay (~5,000 words - Literature Review/Introduction to Thesis; June submission)
• Honours Meetings (attend meetings, 1 hour/week during semester). At these meetings, each student will present 2 seminars during the year, outlining for example, project aims and their early results. These presentations will be to the other Honours students and the Honours Coordinators.

When choosing a lab to do Honours in, make sure that: you get on with Supervisor; the lab is funded well; the lab is filled with happy and likeable people and has many recent publications; and you are interested in the project. [Download the information leaflet (Pdf)]
