Honours Dissertation (4030ENV_P3)

Students enrolled in the Honours program will undertake an Honours Dissertation relevant to their study of urban and environmental planning under the guidance of one or more supervisors appointed by the Honours Convenor. The topic and nature of the Dissertation will be determined through consultation and mutual agreement of the student and supervisor and must be approved by the Program Convenor. The Dissertation will involve original research but this can include the collection and analysis of primary data, the analysis of secondary data, or the development of new theoretical or conceptual models. The research project will be conducted under the direct supervision of an academic staff member of Griffith University, although appropriate supervisor(s) from beyond the University may form part of the supervisory team, with the approval of the Honours Convenor and the Program Convenor (if financial remuneration is proposed). Assessment will comprise a written report of the work, prepared in the form of a thesis and submitted for independent examination by at least two assessors. Students will also be required to make two presentations: one of their research proposals and one describing their work and provisional conclusions. The quality of these presentations will contribute to the overall assessment of the Project. Students are advised to consult the Honours Program Convenor and the Course website for detailed information on appropriate word limits, thesis format and other expectations concerning the amount and quality of work to be produced in their disciplines.
