Honours Projects

How the Honours research project contributes to your Degree programme and how it will be assessed.

Year 4 Honours Programme

In Year 4 (Senior Honours), students specialise in one Honours programme having already had substantial experience of the subject in Year 3. This year almost always involves a major research project, where students can explore the frontiers of knowledge in their chosen subject.

 

Honours Research Project Assessment

The Honours Research Project is worth 60 credits. The assessment of the research project may be subdivided into component parts.  

For example, the following elements may all be assessed separately: 

  • Project proposal
  • Oral presentation
  • Written work (e.g. Research Proposal or Literature Review)
  • Laboratory performance
  • Final written report

Students may be required to work on their research project during part of the Easter vacation.
