SynopsisThe honours program consists of two parts, a research project and coursework. The research project counts for fifty per cent or more of the degree work load, with the remainder being determined by the coursework component. For each student, the exact percentage distribution of the two components will be determined by the school after examining the student's academic performance in his or her previous studies. Upon completion of the research project, students are required to present a written thesis. The thesis will also involve oral presentations and may include the development of computer software. Within the first few weeks of enrolment in the honours program students are required to submit a document detailing their areas of study. The actual thesis topic may be suggested by the school or by the student, subject to approval by the head of school. The coursework component requires the student to complete a selected set of directed study topics. Honours directed study topics offered in any one year may vary. Topics for direct study currently available at the Peninsula campus may include the areas of agent and multi-agent systems, computer security, computer-assisted information systems engineering, programming tools and environments, graphical user interfaces, informational retrieval, multimedia processing, multimedia programming, object orientation and reuse, object-oriented CASE, object-oriented testing, operating systems for multimedia, software architecture and design, and software metrics and productivity. In addition, the school conducts a regular research seminar program involving staff, invited speakers and research students. Attendance to this seminar program is mandatory for all honours students. With the approval of the head of school, students may include in their course work component up to one third-year and two fifth-year subjects as equivalent honours directed study topics.
