65864 Honours (Forensic Science) 1

A research project on specific aspects of forensic science is conducted under the supervision of a member of the academic staff of the University. Some projects are conducted externally in conjunction with an external co-supervisor. This subject is designed to enhance the skills and knowledge necessary for research in forensic science. The principal activity is an individual research project in which the student, under supervision, plans and undertakes investigations in an area of interest. The data collected is then subjected to analysis and interpretation under the guidance of the supervisor. Students learn to define objectives and aims, work to available time and resources, use appropriate research methods, critically assess information and develop complex arguments in detail. The findings of the research project are presented in a structured and integrated thesis which comprises the main assessment component.
