Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science) Honours
What you鈥檒l study
Honours subject areas can vary according to Discipline and methodological approach. In Health Sciences, topics may focus on a particular area of health care practice or a topical health issue. Other projects may examine interventions or strategies that aim to improve health outcomes.
The focus of the Honours program is on individual research. Each student will contribute to designing and/or implementing an approved research project and submit a thesis describing the project and its implications. In completing the research thesis, the student will work closely with academic staff, normally 2 co-supervisors, who will supervise their research activities. Students will meet regularly with their supervisors; attend seminars and workshops that contribute to the research process and their thesis.
Students will complete two units of study over the twelve months. In semester 1, students will commence BHSC4005: Honours Thesis A, where students will attend classes on research methods and statistics, ethics, library skills, writing a literature review, and presentation skills.
Students then undertake BHSC4006: Honours Thesis B in semester 2. During this semester the student will work closely with their supervisor to carry out, analyse and synthesise their results. Each student will submit a thesis describing the project and its implications comprised of their literature review, their research proposal, their journal manuscript and associated methods chapter, their final oral slides and their response to the questions.
Undertaking an additional year of Honours is a unique opportunity to push the frontiers of knowledge, develop and prove your critical abilities, and expand your career prospects.
