Overview

This unit is the first of two units designed to provide students with experience in planning, conducting, analysing and reporting a thesis in an area of specialisation relevant to Clinical or Community Psychology. Building on the research proposal developed in APC6089, this work prepares students for conducting the thesis project, and reporting the research in APC7902 Thesis 2. Students will work with a thesis supervisor to refine a research question, become familiar with and critically review relevant literature, and develop a detailed methodology plan.

  1. Critically review the literature associated with the proposed thesis project;
