Students will choose a research project and supervisor. Projects will be individually supervised and will be laboratory (and based in a research laboratory) or library based, reflecting the current interests of the supervisor. Interested students are encouraged to make contact with prospective supervisors at the ANU. For some research areas see: http://cos.anu.edu.au/Plants/, http://www.anu.edu.au/bambi/groups.php http://genetics.anu.edu.au/,  http://www.rsbs.anu.edu.au/StudentOpportunities/PhBProjectList.php, http://jcsmr.anu.edu.au/  

Note: This is an Honours Pathway Course that involves material of a greater conceptual difficulty and research orientation than a typical Group C course.

To be negotiated with students - seminar (15%), written project report (75%) and laboratory notebook (10%).

At least 96 units towards a degree with an average of 75% or above in relevant second and third year courses. Enrolment in this course is dependent upon the availability of a suitable supervisor and must be approved by the course coordinator and Head of School. A quota may be placed on enrolment in this course. The course can be done twice, provided that the entry requirements for BIOL3175 are met the second time.
