BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Honours Coordinator Welcome One of the beauties of being a biologist in the 21st century is that we still know so little about so much. The honours program in the School of Biological Sciences is your chance to become involved in unravelling the mysteries of life. Your honours year is more than simply the fourth year of an undergraduate degree. In undertaking a research project under the supervision of world-class biologists, you will have the opportunity to develop skills and ways of thinking that mark the start of your journey into a world of dynamic and exciting careers. The research-intensive program will challenge you and expose you to the highs (and lows) of taking ownership of groundbreaking research. Honours students are integrated into the broader research community throughout the program; many students ultimately present their work at international conferences and publish it in prestigious journals. This booklet outlines some of the opportunities that are available for prospective honours students. Many of the ideas listed here are simply that; ideas. We encourage you to speak to prospective supervisors about their research, their research groups and where the projects may take you. Associate Professor Dieter Hochuli Honours Coordinator for the School of Biological Sciences
