This subject involves a supervised study of a single area of scholarship chosen by the student in consultation with an appointed supervisor and the subject and course coordinators.

A reading list will be developed and agreed during the semester as the reading proceeds, and the student will prepare a thematic written review of the selected discipline area.

This subject extends knowledge of a topic studied in other coursework subjects, or allows students to research a topic not otherwise treated within the course, and may complement but not overlap with an honours thesis topic or the honours thesis literature review. The subject should enhance the student's powers of independent inquiry, encourage initiative in self-directed research, and strengthen the student's capacities in theoretical analysis and argument.

Upon completion of this subject, students should be able to:

• express a deeper understanding of a specific area of choice;

• show a high level of interpretation and critical analysis of written ­material; and

• write clearly and precisely in a scientific manner.
