This course has been adjusted for remote participants in Sem 1, 2021, however attendance at on-campus activities is preferable.
A supervisor, who will guide the candidate in the selection of a suitable program of study and who will direct the research project, will be appointed for each honours candidate. The program of study includes a special schedule of lecture courses, details of which will be made available within the School. Candidates will normally be able to select their general field of investigation.
Attendance at colloquia held in the School constitutes a part of the program and the candidates will be required to prepare and deliver seminars describing the background to (first seminar) and results from (second seminar) their research project. Candidates must submit a written report (thesis) describing the method and results of their investigation.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- plan and engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation and evaluation of a chosen research topic in chemistry
-
systematically identify relevant theory and concepts, relate these to
appropriate methodologies and evidence, and draw appropriate conclusions
- engage in systematic discovery and critical review of appropriate and relevant information sources
- appropriately apply statistical or other evaluation processes to original data
- understand and apply ethical standards of conduct in the collection and evaluation of data and other resources
