Course description
Enrolment Note:This course has a delayed enrolment date and will open following the allocation of Honours streams. Students will be advised of the specific date each year when their Honours stream is confirmed and should contact the School of Psychology for further information. Enrolment will be approved for eligible fourth year students based on the number of available supervisors. Student GPA will be used to determine eligibility if supervisor places are limited.
The individual research thesis is the largest single component of the Honours program. It is a year-long course and is intended to demonstrate the capability of students to conceive and carry out original, high level research. The individual research thesis, which is supervised by a member of the academic staff, is assessed on a number of grounds. These relate to the student's command of the chosen topic from initial conception of the problem, through its resolution via appropriate research strategies, to clear presentation and insightful interpretation of what has been discovered.
