Understand how to effectively communicate your research

This is the last of four courses in the HASS3000: BA Project program.

The program is the third core component of the Bachelor of Arts Online program at the University of Newcastle, which brings together Humanities students from all disciplines and subfields to put into practice the critical reasoning and research skills studied in HASS1000 and HASS2000.

In this program, you will hone your knowledge and skills through practical application and a major research project. This individual project can take the form of a traditional research paper or a creative, applied or digital outcome. It will demonstrate your capabilities in a range of areas that are demanded by employers in the knowledge economy, including digital communication, complex problem solving, initiative or enterprise, and creative thinking.

What topics will you cover?

Please see the HASS3000: BA Project course handbook for more detail.
