2024 unit information
The unit enables students to learn the application of a new analytical procedure relevant to their thesis research. Increasingly in the humanities and social sciences it is expected that research employs new technologies, from software eg statistical packages such as R or SPSS, agent-based modelling, photogrammetry, or advanced geographical information systems; as well as equipment such as 3D scanning, portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF), or infrared and raman spectroscopy. The student, in consultation with their supervisor may choose the analytic procedure relevant to their research.
