In this unit students develop their research skills by designing a project which is achievable in the time available, which is designed to give a clear answer to a research question (or manageable set of research questions), and which extends existing knowledge in a psychological domain. Projects need to be related to content areas taught in the psychology course. During second semester (in the units HPS5102-4) the research project is conducted and written up by the candidate in thesis or literature review and research project format.
