Biology research project

BIO4100

Synopsis

You will undertake a major research project. Under the supervision of an academic in the School of Biological Sciences, you will immerse yourself in the literature surrounding your chosen field of research, design novel research projects that will lead to new understanding in the field, and then set about testing these questions. You will experience working in a research group environment, working side-by-side with PhD students and professional researchers. You will present the results of your research projects via an oral presentation and written thesis.

Candidates may commence the honours year at the beginning of either first or second Semester (July). Further information is available from the course coordinators and at a meeting held with prospective students during second semester of third year.
