2073 Honours Year in Applied
Chemistry
This program provides an opportunity for selected students,
who have achieved a high standard during the applied
chemistry course, to graduate with a degree with honours.

Chemical Sciences.
2072 Honours Year in Biochemistry/
Chemistry

Sciences.
2065 Honours Year in Computer
Science
A one year full-time program that follows the completion of
all requirements for a three-year degree. The program is
designed for students who have an interest in research, and
is particularly geared to those who are contemplating
progressing to postgraduate studies.
Normally to be eligible for this degree a student would have
achieved a grade point average of credit or above on the best
seventy-five per cent (75%) of the post-first year subjects.
However, it is likely that a performance in excess of this
minimum will be necessary to gain selection.
A student would normally undertake a program involving
three semester-length coursework subjects, one reading
subject, and a research topic leading to the production of a
minor thesis. The reading subject will involve one semester
of directed reading of research methods relevant to the
proposed minor thesis and the theoretical underpinning of
the thesis topic. The three coursework subjects will consist
of at least two subjects at the masters by coursework or
honours level and at most one subject at the third year
undergraduate level which has not been attempted
previously.

2068 Honours Year in Medical
Biophysics and Scientific
Instrumentation See 2079
2079 Honours Year in
Psychophysiology
These programs provide opportunities for selected students
who have achieved a high standard in the major areas of
study, medical biophysics or psychophysiology, to continue
their undergraduate studies to an honours level.
Topics in the medical biophysics program include:
membrane biophysics, biophysical techniques, information
processing within neural systems, clinical, cortical,
subcortical, and EEG/scalp surface recording techniques,
clinical exercise testing, and ergometry and work and power
assessment.
In addition to the two project subjects, students must
complete a minimum of four subjects. These are selected
from subjects offered by the School in consultation with the
postgraduate coordinator. Subject to approval, one subject
of equivalent standard from another School may be chosen.
