Advanced Subject Projects

Biol292 - Available to second year students currently enrolled in the BSc Adv (Hons) program

Students will undertake research projects, under the supervision of academic staff members, on design and execution of field and/or laboratory experiments and the analysis and interpretation of these data. Intending students must consult with the Subject coordinator before enrolment - Dr Phillip Byrne Phone: 02 4298 1932, Room No. 35.G122A. Students must attend the School's Seminar program. NOTE: The use of animals, animal tissues or animal-derived products (such as sera) is inherent and unavoidable, in order to achieve specific learning objectives. Students with conscientious objections to that use should not enrol in this subject.

Biol392 - Distinction average or higher performance in subjects pertinent to the intended area of research, as approved by the Head of School. Offered subject to availability of a research supervisor

One research project is to be undertaken, designed and chosen in consultation with an academic staff member. Emphasis may be placed on developing competence in a range of laboratory and field techniques not already familiar to the student. Selection for Advanced Biology is based on merit, and intending students should consult the Coordinator before enrolment.

Mare393 Distinction average or higher performance in subjects pertinent to the intended area of research as approved by the Marine Science Coordinator. Offered only to students in the Bachelor of Marine Science, and subject to availability of a research supervisor. Evidence of 'fitness' is required if work involves snorkelling, SCUBA, use of boats or inter-tidal work.

One research project will be undertaken after consultation with academic staff. Students will attend and participate in a seminar/tutorial program in either the School of Biological Sciences or the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Research may be a discrete component of a larger project in which the emphasis will be on solving a larger problem as part of a research team. Projects will focus on developing competence in a laboratory and/or field techniques. Intending students should consult the Coordinator before enrolment. Subject Coordinator - Assoc. Prof. Andrew Davis: 02-4221 3432, Room No. G.01D
