| Structure: |
| | In order to undertake honours, students must consult the Sub-Dean (Health Science). Students enrol in honours units in schools that offer majors in the Bachelor of Health Science. The schools support the student and his/her research project including the provision of supervision, infrastructure and examination of the dissertation. Joint projects between schools and projects that are relevant to the health industry are encouraged. Projects in partnership with industry and with an industry co-supervisor are also encouraged. The structure and content of the dissertation should demonstrate that the student has identified a relevant problem, issue or topic, has adequately collated and integrated available information, has used appropriate methods, and has used the evidence and sound arguments to draw suitable conclusions. Schools may specify additional research-relevant requirements such as participation in journal clubs, research seminar programmes and oral presentation of the research findings. |
