Thesis

A thesis is a substantial component of the honours year, and this topic is taken in conjunction with ENGL7710B, to form an 18 unit thesis. Students will explore, in depth, a facet of either English literature, or creative writing, such as genre, epoch, schools etc. The area of study must be developed in consultation with the supervisor.

This topic aims to:

instil in students an awareness of the creative and/or critical methodologies that they use in their creative and/or critical practices
extend students’ ability to produce an extended piece of writing
develop honours level research and communication skills

On completion of this topic students will be able to:

undertake independent research, including research activities including database/internet research, ethical research, primary and secondary analysis,
apply secondary material and theory, and advanced creative/critical writing skills to an extended piece of writing
demonstrate the ability to communicate research skills and knowledge via oral and written communication/assessment
