Students must submit a Research Project Summary form for this course. Further information below. The course allows students to pursue a research project on a topic that extends coursework learning. The course is centred on conducting original research under an academic supervisor, in order to develop independent research skills and experience. The details of the project will be negotiated between the student and the supervisor/s and be approved by the relevant School’s Associate Director (Science Education) prior to enrolment. The research project may be conducted within a research group or in collaboration with an industry or government body. The project may be on a topic that is of interest to and/or encompasses multiple disciplines in science. Note: This is an Honours Pathway Course (HPC)
