Program aims
The Honours Program in Screen and Media aims to extend aspects of the knowledge gained in the Screen and Media major of the undergraduate degree, so that students develop areas of academic specialisation at a level beyond that normally attainable in the degree as they become independent thinkers and researchers and familiarise themselves and develop advanced skills in producing and communicating research.
Learning outcomes
Students completing the Honours Program in Screen and Media will be able to demonstrate:
- discuss existing academic knowledge in the area of their specialisation at an advanced level
- develop and support an extended argument needed for an Honours research thesis
- create an extended piece of research, including evaluating, analysing and deploying evidence
- take a leading role in communicating their findings, in both oral and written form at an advanced level.
