Research thesis in environment and sustainability B

ENS5902 (12 credit points) is a continuation of ENS5901. ENS5902, in combination with ENS5901, enables you to undertake research over two semesters during the advanced practice component of the course. ENS5902 provides an opportunity for you to pursue a major academically-oriented piece of research in your chosen discipline. This advanced and authentic experience will develop transferable research skills for professional practice across sectors and provides a pathway to a PhD. Over the course of ENS5901 and ENS5902, you will be assessed based on a research thesis (90%) and a conceptual development/reflection task (10%). The format and requirements of the research thesis will vary according to the requirements of the specialisation. In addition to independent research, the unit includes some scheduled activities to enhance and develop transferable research skills in study design, analysis and academic writing. Students from any specialisation can undertake the unit if they fulfil the academic requirements and gain approval from an appropriate supervisor. ENS5901 with ENS5902 provide the same experience as ENS5900, but enables you to undertake research over two semesters.
