Analyse and interpret original research data with statistical or other evaluative processes where appropriate. Demonstrate sufficient mastery to understand and apply relevant experimental techniques and methods to collect original research data Communicate and justify complex concepts and results clearly and effectively to a variety of audiences. Biology The Biology Honours specialisation encourages you to develop a rich and active appreciation of the latest research in biology. Usually taken full time for two consecutive semesters, it is structured around the planning and execution of a substantial research project under the supervision of a research supervisor, culminating in the production of a thesis. Along the way, you will develop skills in laboratory or field techniques, analysis and critical reasoning, and written and oral communication. Biology honours provides you with a solid foundation in the principles of evidence-based enquiry, and can be an entry into many careers both within and outside of science.
