Course description
In the BEnvSc Honours year you will chose and conduct an independent research project supervised by an academic staff member, and possible others including industry staff. This part of the BEnvSc program will extend your independence as a scientist and provide the skills that will enable you to actively design, perform, analyse and communicate original research. It will prepare you for entry into the workforce or a research higher degree (such as PhD) with a considerable degree of independence and advanced skills. The components of the Honours year include identifying project/advisors, developing a research proposal, presenting a proposal seminar, a research report featuring your findings, final seminar and seminar diaries.
