Honours is a one year full-time research course under the supervision of a staff member.

Your studies will foster enhanced observational skills, relevant practical skills, problem solving and literacy and communication skills, as well as professional responsibility and ethical conduct.

From the research topics offered every year, you will undertake an individual research project, the findings of which form the basis for your written thesis and oral presentations.
