Undergraduate: Course rule and topic informationBachelor of ScienceHonours Degree[November, 2007] A student who has completed all the requirements of the Bachelor of Science with a major or extended major in an appropriate discipline area, or completed another qualification which the Faculty Board agrees is equivalent, may be accepted for admission to an honours program provided a sufficiently high standard has been achieved in fulfilling the requirements of the bachelors degree. Students who complete the Bachelor of Science with no major or extended major, or who hold a lesser qualification, may be admitted after completing additional work as prescribed by the Board. Students who withdraw during the honours year will not be permitted to re-enrol as an honours student except with the permission of the relevant school. Biological SciencesThe honours program is 36 units comprising one research project (24 units) and 12 units of topics (12 units). In all cases admission is subject to approval by the Honours Committee of the School of Biological Sciences. As well as the student's undergraduate record, the availability of an academic supervisor for the research project will be taken into account. A student shall undertake a prescribed course of work in an approved field of biology. Fields of study available include animal physiology, behavioural biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cell physiology, plant systematics and speciation, developmental biology, ecology, genetics, microbiology, palaeobiology, plant physiology, population genetics, marine biology, and biology with psychology. 36 units comprising: BIOL7001 Biology Honours Research Project (24 units). Students should enrol in a combination of sub-topics chosen from the following, ensuring that they enrol in 24 units overall.
plus 12 units selected from the following:
or other topics approved by the Honours Committee, appropriate to a student's program (which could include as appropriate the topics listed below):
ChemistryThe honours program is 36 units comprising one research project (24 units) and 12 units of lecture topics. Admission is normally subject to a GPA of 5 or more in an undergraduate BSc degree in the area of chemistry. In all cases admission is subject to approval by the Honours Committee of the School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences. As well as the student's undergraduate record the availability of an academic supervisor for the research project will be taken into account. Research work is available in the fields of natural product synthesis, medicinal chemistry, heterocyclic chemistry, stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, organometallics, physical organic chemistry, forensic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, laser spectroscopy, chemical crystallography, bioinorganic chemistry, macrocyclic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry and surface chemistry. A list of research projects for the following year will be made available early in second semester. Eligibility to undertake a particular honours research project will depend upon the areas of specialisation studied in the Third Year of the bachelors degree. 36 units comprising: CPES7001 Honours Research Project in Chemistry (24 units). Students should enrol in a combination of sub-topics chosen from the following, ensuring that they enrol in 24 units overall.
