The Honours year has two functions at UOW: as an in-depth project at the end of undergraduate study, and as a bridge between undergraduate study and advanced research. Studying Honours is about: learning research skills, navigation skills and information systems (archives, the Library, databases, electronic research networks); the opportunity to practise articulating complex ideas orally and in writing. It provides the experience of working closely with a supervisor on a project and in preparing a major project to meet a deadline; experiences in devising, researching and writing up an individual topic of study in an extended argument. Course Learning Outcomes Students graduating from the Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) will be able to: Independently plan and execute a research-based project or piece of scholarship that demonstrates in-depth understanding and critical analysis of the area of International Studies; Demonstrate advanced theoretical knowledge and critically reflect on, synthesise and evaluate information, problems, concepts and theories; Communicate a coherent and sustained argument, explaining and disseminating research results and conclusions; Apply an advanced knowledge of research, research integrity, ethics and the rights and safety of others, to independently plan and execute a substantial piece of research.
