这是一门全年课程，涉及完成和报告受监管的研究项目。可以进行各种各样的项目，其基本要求是该项目与医学领域广泛相关，并且必须采用既定且适当的科学方法。医学项目（荣誉）学士课程召集人和医学与公共卫生学院院长将在申请时对项目的适用性进行评估。此次评估必不可少的一点是，确认该申请已得到适当合格的研究人员的支持，该研究人员能够在整个研究期间对学生进行监督。可以在大学实验室中以动物或人类样品，已建立的数据库，在临床环境中，或者在进行适当的社会学，行为或公共卫生研究的情况下，在其他环境中进行项目。项目不必一定要在纽卡斯尔
This is a full year program involving the completion and reporting of a supervised research project. A wide variety of projects may be undertaken, the essential requirements being that the project is broadly related to the field of medicine and that an established and appropriate scientific methodology is to be employed. Evaluation of the suitability of projects will be conducted at the time of application by the Program Convenor for the Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) and Head of the School of Medicine and Public Health. Integral to this evaluation will be confirmation that the application has been supported by a suitably qualified researcher who is able to commit to supervision of the student over the study period. Projects may be conducted within University laboratories with animals or on human samples, on established databases, within a clinical setting, or in the case of appropriate sociological, behavioural or public health research, in other settings. Projects do not necessarily have to be conducted within the University of Newcastle, nor do they need to be supervised primarily by a member of the University of Newcastle academic staff, however in cases where a student wishes to conduct research externally, a University of Newcastle academic staff member should be involved as a co-supervisor. A conjoint appointee may be appropriate as a supervisor, if he or she has adequate research expertise.
