A major component of the Honours year is the conduct of a research project and the presentation of this research in the form of a minor thesis. The research project gives students the opportunity to identify and select a research problem and investigate it independently. It allows you to apply theory to, and /or analyse, a real problem, or to explore and analyse more general issues using secondary sources. It also enables you to apply research procedures to illuminate the problem and contribute to a greater understanding of that problem, and even to identify potential solutions.
