Course descriptionThis course allows a student to develop an aspect of a taught honours course as a 20 credit extension of the original course. The course allows the student to pursue self-directed study but the chosen theme is identified in the taught version of the course and the project provided and supervised by that tutor.

It is expected that students will work together on projects that will allow a topic to be studied from a variety of different angles and produce a number of different kinds of output, depending on the interests and expertise of the students involved.
