2. be able to prepare a research proposal which includes suitable background and justification for undertaking the project.
3. advanced understanding of theoretical and practical aspectsof designing and executing a project.
4. experience in liaising with agencies and individualsassociated with the project.
5. be able to present an advanced level scientific report of theinvestigation and in so doing be able to demonstrate an ability to apply relevant theoretical perspectives to practical problem analysis and solutions.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
