ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences
All ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences Master Advanced programs require the completion of a 24 unit thesis. THES8100 is the honours thesis course for all CASS-administered disciplines not covered by THES8102, 8103, or 8105. Students in this course carry out advanced research on a question of their choice. Their topic is agreed with their thesis supervisor and approved by their masters convenor. Students design and implement a project to answer their research question, to place the answer in the context of an intellectual tradition, and to communicate it clearly to others.
A thesis is the sole piece of assessment for this course; to successfully complete this course, it must demonstrate all learning outcomes for the course. (See the class summary for more details regarding thesis formats for practice-based research in art, music and design)
Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3
A total of 520 hours student learning time, including a minimum of 12 hours contact with the supervisor. It is the joint responsibility of the student and supervisor to arrange times for face-to-face contact. The supervisor is normally only available for email or face-to-face consultation during teaching weeks of each semester. Other Information Consent will only be given to enter this course if the student is: (1) enrolled in a Masters Advanced program in which the course is listed and (2) has the written agreement of an identified supervisor to supervise the thesis commencing in a specified semester. Students will be asked to provide evidence of the Supervisor agreement.
