A course of directed reading in an approved topic.
A special topic provides students with additional indepth knowledge in a given
subject area. It is also an ideal paper for students contemplating an honours degree
as the specific research and knowledge will be designed to prepare for and support
a dissertation.
Students are advised to discuss the special topic supervision
with an appropriate lecturer before they leave for the summer vacation break, this
will facilitate a smoother course approval process.
