Course description
This year-long course introduces students to the process of sustained independent research, culminating in the production of an Honours thesis in English or, with permission, in Indonesian. Honours offers students the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in their area of specialisation, work closely with experts in the field, and produce a research thesis on a focused topic of their choosing. Under individual supervision, students will formulate a research question, conduct a critical literature review, apply an appropriate methodology, and present their findings in a well-structured written thesis. As the thesis component for students commencing full-time BA Honours in Semester 1, this course provides essential training in research design, academic writing, and scholarly communication. Completion of Honours is also a key prerequisite for progression to Higher Degree by Research programs such as the MPhil or PhD.
