In semester 1 2017, the University is offering an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students from across the University to collaborate on research projects addressing issues of importance to contemporary Australia.
Our flagship partner, the NSW Parliament has identified a range of potential projects in areas requested by serving Members of Parliament that our students can help to address. In Semester 1, two special research topic areas are available:
• Contemporary issues in social media
• Drones, surveillance and privacy
Students are now invited to apply for this innovative unit, INDP3000 – Interdisciplinary Project. Applications will be assessed by a panel, and interviews will be held before the end of the year. In semester 1, 20 students will be able to participate.
