Unit description
This unit is designed for students to pursue study in an area that is of particular interest to them. The content of the unit, including teaching and learning activities, will be agreed between the student and the unit convenor (or delegate) prior to enrolment in the unit. The content and delivery of the unit will be in accordance with relevant University policies. The outcomes and graduate capabilities developed in the unit will vary but will be appropriate to the advanced level of the unit. As well as having significant knowledge of the area to be studied the student is expected to be capable of self-directed learning. Polished proposals with full reference of no less than 15 pages will be considered if a suitable supervisor has been nominated and publication potential identified.
