The Honours Economics Thesis is designed to provide high-achieving, high-ability students with the tools to undertake individual research. During the Thesis development process, students are expected to (i) learn how to identify research questions, (ii) obtain the ability to map economic theory into coherent explanations of real-world problems, and (iii) learn how to confront economic theory with real-world data. In addition, students should learn valuable presentation skills and writing skills. Part of this learning process may be formalised in a weekly Thesis workshop. Individual learning and development should occur under the mentorship of a student's Thesis supervisor. This thesis course must be commenced and completed within one semester. |
