You will undertake a supervised placement within an industry setting. You will use the industry placement to inform development of a research question within the field, and conduct research to address this question. As part of the unit you will present seminars on your research, culminating in a final research report. This placement will help you develop and consolidate your workplace skills. Candidates may only commence the Honours year at the beginning of the first semester.
