This is the first of two courses that contribute towards the Psychology Honours Project. The overall project will involve an individual piece of research in a selected area of psychology in which information concerning an approved topic is gathered, organised, analysed and discussed in a critical and evaluative manner. The research requires advanced knowledge of research methodology and appropriate techniques for analysing data.

This course is a competency-based course, and assessment items must be successfully completed to pass the course. These competency items form part of the UniSQ accreditation agreement with Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).

This course enables students to develop evidence-based skills through the completion of a research project. Students are required to decide on a topic; submit an ethics application and research proposal; commence their review of the literature; begin the operational phase of their research; and submit a progress report near the end of the semester.

BPSH students must have completed the first 3 years with a GPA of 5.0 across levels 1 to 3 psychology courses. These students will have to be manually enrolled.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. formulate a research question and/or hypotheses based on previous literature in the chosen field;
2. determine an appropriate methodology that will address the particular research question and/or hypotheses;
3. select and/or develop any materials necessary for the conduct of the project (e.g., surveys, interviews);
4. Identify ethical issues inherent within the chosen project and address these issues in a manner that is consistent with Australian Psychological Society guidelines and the National Statement of Human Research Ethics via gaining ethics approval or an exemption for the proposed research project.
