research
training and it is the fastest way to get into our PhD program. It
consists of 8 units, 4 of them are for the 48-credit Honours project
and 2 of
them are compulsory research training units: INN700 – Introduction to
Research
and INN701 – Advanced research topics. The other two units are
elective units which you can choose from the recommended list of
units. If you want to choose some units that are not in the
recommended
list, please contact the course coordinator (Jinglan Zhang) directly.
Normally the units/subjects you choose should be advanced units and
should be relevant to your Honours research topic.
The honours program will expand your
career options through exposure to the world of research. Honours is also the
perfect pathway to an academic career through PhD studies, where you can become
an independent researcher in your own right.
An honours degree signals to potential employers that you are someone with
exceptional ability, motivation and commitment to your field. It gives you the
chance to integrate the practical and conceptual knowledge gained through your
