Description

To complete the Honours BA, students must undertake, normally in the final year of their study, a programme of research under the supervision of a member of the department. The thesis provides the student with the opportunity to design and complete an original research project on a subject of interest and relevance to the discipline. Students wishing to enrol in this course must first consult with the Programme Advisor to determine a thesis topic. Submission of the student's final work is followed by an oral examination.
