Students must submit and pass a 24 UOC research thesis which constitutes 100% of the mark for this course.

Where adequate progress is made on the thesis, as determined by the supervisor and Program Director, a grade of EC (Enrolment Continuing) will be applied as a holding grade for the course in the first, second, and/or third (where applicable*) instance they are enrolled.

The completed thesis is marked by two members of the School's academic staff. The supervisor is not involved in marking the thesis.

Once the mark for thesis is finalised, and added to the course for the final instance/s* the student is enrolled, this mark will be backfilled (replacing the EC grade) to all previous instances of the course.

* It is envisaged that a student will enrol in this course twice. The first time during T2 and the second time during T3.

Students completing a Standard full-time load should enrol in PSYC7413 during T1 and PSYC7415 during T2 and T
Student completing the Extended Progression, should enrol in PSYC7413 during T1 and PSYC7415 during T2 and T3.
