This will be a research project in any area of Entomology or Conservation Biology and of relevance to the goals of the Department. Projects will be undertaken by all students at Level 400, and will be supervised by a member of academic staff of the Department or a cognate department.

While Students may select research topic offered by staff but students will be encouraged to formulate their own topics. Students will be expected to identify problems in their field of study, write and defend a project proposal aimed at finding a solution(s) to the problem. They will carry out an independent study and submit a written report.
