Coursework or Research?

Research and Honours Programs

Research degrees provide an opportunity for you to undertake supervised research on a specific topic of interest. The choice of topic is varied, and is dependent upon the university’s ability to provide suitable supervision and resources. Your research will lead to the submission of a thesis which will be critically reviewed by an expert panel. This thesis must make a significant and original contribution to new knowledge in the research area.
