Handbook

In this course, students will complete a short theoretical or experimental research project, supervised by a member of academic staff over the course of a term.

The project may encompass; project planning, literature review, project development, fieldwork, experimental work, statistical analyses and oral and written reporting.

Research projects may also involve placements outside UNSW, in the form of externally funded research programs, industrial placements or other programs either during usual session or in the session breaks. In these cases students will require a UNSW academic member of staff to supervise the students for the duration of the project.
