Undergraduate Research Skills
Electives Plus Sequence at Hawthorn
Description
Graduates from many disciplines need to understand the logic of research if they are to flourish in the workplace. Some of them will also need to be able to design and carry out research. This elective sequence is made up of two alternative streams:
- The social sciences stream is specifically designed for social researchers, nevertheless the underlying logic means that the sequence will be useful to a wide range of students.
- The physical science/technology stream allows high-performing students to participate in the creative and innovative application of basic science and engineering fundamentals to research and development, while working with an established Swinburne research group under individual expert guidance and mentoring.
