If you are interested in applying to do a HASS301: Art-I-Facts Project, please read the information below and then follow the HASS unit Application Process

HASS301 research projects normally consist of either two projects of 2,500 words each or one project of 5,000 words. However, the UNEMA project options outlined here permit you, subject to the approval of your supervisor, to select a mixture of different projects of different word lengths, which when combined are deemed by your supervisor to require an amount of research equivalent to the research required by a 5,000 word research project.  The final number and mix of projects, word lengths, drafts and submission dates must be agreed in advance in writing with your supervisor before enrolling in a HASS301 Art-I-Facts Project.
