4-units: If you want an individual topic and expanded research experience and are possibly look at doing further research after graduation, then 4-unit projects are suitable (e.g. REIT7841).
2-units: For students in 16-unit or 24-unit Masters programs: if you are doing REIT6811 in S1 (or have already completed it), you may enrol instead in the new 2-unit REIT7820, starting in S2 2026.
This option is particularly recommended for one-year Masters programs.
REIT7820 runs at a less intense pace over 1 semester and dovetails cleanly with REIT6811. REIT6811 (S1) plus REIT7820 (S2) together provide 4 units of research credit, equivalent to the year-long 4-unit thesis projects.
In REIT7820, you will be assigned to a broad thesis theme (no need to find a specific topic or supervisor) and the course combines structured, workshop-style learning with strong research components and individual assessment.
