Honours in Geology/Earth and Marine Science is offered as an additional year of study for the Bachelor of Science program. The principal component of the 10 months Honours course involves a research project conducted under supervision of a research scientist. In addition, students are expected to attend various workshops and seminars, do several units of coursework, write a research proposal, a progress report and present seminars on their research work. The major item of assessment is the thesis. In addition to meeting the entry requirements defined by the College, students must have the agreement of a member of the academic staff to supervise their project, and the agreement of the Honours convener. Students should discuss their intention to undertake an Honours project with the Honours convenor and their potential supervisors at least several months before the proposed starting date.
