Overview

The Honours course offers basic training in research and introduces advanced areas of study in biomedical science.

Additional admission requirements

The Honours program is open to students who have attained at least a Credit average over the final third of the undergraduate program.

Course duration and attendance

The course is offered on a one-year, full-time basis.

Course structure

The major component of the course is a research project which extends over the full duration of the course and normally takes the form of an experimental or analytical investigation, undertaken either in the laboratory or the field. Candidates may also be required to undertake one or more critical reviews of the scientific literature in designated areas and to attend formal classes devoted to advanced coursework. The results of the project are presented in an oral seminar and in a written thesis, both of which are formally assessed.
