This subject offers students options for specialising in and/or extending their research skills. Students can use the subject to build on skills and knowledge derived from 50164 Research Methods 1 and/or 50165 Research Methods 2 and other more theoretical subjects. The subject is based on an individual project and is designed to allow students to demonstrate their capacities to produce a professional-level project appropriate to entry to a research-related career, with the necessary supervision and support to develop the level of practice and/or in preparation for an Honours thesis. Students are able to explore different techniques and are expected to read widely as well as undertake appropriate fieldwork.

Projects undertaken can also include practical projects of use to community organisations or advocacy groups.
