The independent study is a restricted entry course that allows students of exceptional ability to engage in a minor research project.

The course is particularly useful for students who wish to pursue further research or investigate a topic of interest not covered by other courses.

This course can only be undertaken if the planned project is of interest to a supervisor in the School.

Students are required to meet the minimum prerequisites to be eligible to be considered for enrolment.

Applications should be submitted at least four weeks prior to the commencement of the semester you wish to enrol in the course by email to polsis@uq.edu.au
