Objectives
Successful completion of this course will give you the foundation, knowledge and skills to:
- Build on the competencies acquired in your undergraduate course
- Perform the investigative skills that are required in research activities
- Assimilate and analyse the findings of research workers in your area of interest
- Be familiar with the theoretical basis of the work in the course
- Be familiar with the latest developments in your area of interest
- Explain and communicate in written and oral form your own work and the work of others
- Relate your work to possible applications in industrial or commercial developments
- Be aware of the ethical and social implications of your area of interest
Requirements
The course consists of the core unit Research Project and Thesis, which is worth 60 credit points and runs for the full year, and an additional four (two core and two elective) 15 credit point units. A significant proportion (one half) of the work in this program is related to the completion of your research project. The aim of this is to introduce you to the type of work involved in postgraduate research studies. The research project allows you to pursue an area of interest in some depth while practising the investigative skills that are important in research. In particular, you will practise the skills involved in finding the latest work published about your area of interest, and in assimilating and analysing this information. You will also learn how to communicate these findings to other people by giving seminars on your work and assembling your work in the form of a project report.
International students must meet the following basic entry requirements (see below):
