General Information

Overview

Research Proposal is the first of two coursework units in the BA Honours course. The unit will assist you to articulate a research focus and an answerable research question in a specific Humanities or Arts discipline. The unit provides discipline-context research training for the two subsequent dissertation units. You will acquire advanced research skills in your chosen discipline. Specifics of the learning materials and assessment will be negotiated with your supervisor in the academic discipline. The research training includes the formation of research aims, questions, conceptual models and applicable research methodologies as well as research administration processes such as ethics applications, risk management and project milestone planning.
