The Bachelor of Arts honours year is both a preparation for postgraduate study and a capstone to an undergraduate degree. Honours can be the culmination of your formal education, an experience that extends your intellectual range, hones your research abilities, as well as analytical and communication techniques, and helps you to develop the personal and professional skills needed to see a research project though to completion. This course may be suitable for undergraduate students with one major. Honours can also be the first step on a path to a career as an academic or professional researcher. The honours year comprises seminar classes and work toward a short thesis on an independent research project under the supervision of an academic staff member who is an expert in the field of your research.<br><br>The fourth year honours program in Gender Studies consists of: An 18,000-20,000 word thesis on a topic devised by the student in consultation with a supervisor appointed by the department, Participation in an Honours mini-conference where constructive peer review is given and received on a 20 minute thesis presentation, Completion of Arguing the Point (ATP), a unit which provides training in thesis research and writing and includes a series of practical research skills, and A seminar/coursework unit chosen from an approved 4000 level suite. The final assessment involves 60% thesis and 40% coursework.<br>The Honours program gives students an opportunity to refine their thinking to a very high degree, pursuing an independent research topic that will be of deep interest to them. The thesis is an extended piece of research on an approved topic of the student's choosing, and is written under the individual supervision of a member of staff who will be an active researcher in their own right. The thesis gives students the experience of formulating and conducting a substantial piece of independent research, working closely with a supervisor who helps to bring their reflections and research into sharper focus. It is thus a key means of demonstrating the attributes required for further study.
