Independent Study

A professor and a student sitting at a desk reviewing notes.

An independent study course provides a student the opportunity to work with a faculty member on a project of mutual interest. Students seek out such an opportunity by contacting instructors/faculty members whose research and scholarly interests match their own. Faculty members do not need to be within the School of Foods and Nutritional Sciences and/or the School of Family Studies and Human Development.

Students have worked with faculty members in the Sister Schools of the Faculty of Health Sciences as well as researchers in other Faculties at Western. Elements of the independent study course are arranged with the specific faculty member; that is what makes it an independent experience.

Requirement: All students must be registered in an Honours module, with a cumulative average of 75%+.
