About
Find a research project
Participate in a specialised medical research honours program encompassing a diverse range of medically relevant topics. Browse potential student projects available in each research group at JCSMR:
Once you have found an honours project, discuss it with the potential supervisors and the honours convenor, Associate Professor Ian Cockburn, several months before the proposed starting date. You need an academic staff member to agree to supervise your project and also the agreement of the honours convenor before your application can be approved by the CHM Subdean.
As part of your application to Honours, you need to submit a NOMINATION OF SUPERVISOR form if undertaking a Medical Research project.
The main component of the 10 month honours course is a research project conducted under supervision. Students are expected to attend a journal club program, various safety courses, workshops and seminars, write a literature review and present seminars on their research work.
