Except with the approval of the Head of School or Faculty Registrar, all subjects
in a chain must be studied in consecutive teaching periods.
Honours projects are individual, supervised analyses of topics relevant to specific
areas of business. The thesis will normally be completed and submitted by mid-October
and will be of the order of 12,000-15,000 words. BU4070 provides the groundwork on
the thesis topic for the larger thesis subject BU4071. It consists of preparing a
research proposal with the aid of a supervisor on a contemporary topic from within
the disciplines of the School of Business.
