The Honours Project offers a unique opportunity for students to work under the supervision of a principal supervisor to gain practical experience in conducting an evidence-based research and development project in an area related to innovation in health and social well-being via accessing, reviewing, and application of current scientific techniques. It involves original and independent research work, carried out over a period of two semesters.

It enables students to: (1) initiate and conduct a research project on their own on a particular topic related to innovation in health and social well-being; (2) apply knowledge, skills, techniques relevant to their disciplines to enable innovative solutions to real-world health and social well-being problems; and (3) report and showcase the findings/inventions effectively and professionally.
