Education Honours Thesis A EDP402
Introduction
The thesis is an independent research project of 12,000-15,000 words on a topic of your choice that has been approved by the Education Honours Course Coordinator. You will conceptualise and plan a suitable project; carry out a review of relevant literature; where relevant, collect and analyse data; and interpret findings to articulate the significance of the project. You will work with an academic supervisor to undertake the project and you are encouraged to choose a topic of particular interest to you personally and professionally. The thesis provides an opportunity for you to undertake a significant piece of independent research and is therefore ideal preparation to undertake further higher degree research, such as a PhD.
