The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology provides research training to students doing the BSc Honours degree. This one year of research follows the 3-year BSc.
Students undertake a research project under the close supervision of an academic staff member.
At the end of the year, students write a research thesis. The BSc Honours program offered by the department is unique. Our philosophy is that students graduating with a BSc Honours degree should be fully trained in laboratory-based research activities. To achieve this goal, our Honours students spend virtually all their time in a research laboratory working intensively on a project of their choice. By the end of the year, students have a very good idea if they are suited for a career in biomedical research.
