Honours
The Microbiology Honours course consists of a one year supervised research project along with a relatively minor component of course work. Microbiological research is as varied in its nature as the microbial world itself and the research interests of the Department of Microbiology reflect this diversity.
Students wishing to apply may do so by registering their name with the Honours Coordinator, Dr Naomi Bishop, (n.bishop@.latrobe.edu.au) along with a list of their three preferred supervisors.
Students should view the Department's research specialisations to see our current areas of research and research projects, and to find the relevant group leader to contact.
Further information about 2012 Honours research areas is available for download [PDF 1.34MB].
External projects
External projects are carried out with a supervisor working externally to La Trobe University. Much of the research for these projects will be carried out off-site, with some assessment and other tasks completed on the Melbourne campus. Students undertaking external projects are also assigned an internal supervisor.
