PHYS3018 Bachelor of Science Project

Module Overview

The aim of the Physics Project is to give students training in undertaking a major research-type project which can be in any area of physics, either theoretical or experimental. The project should normally be completed in the first semester, although in unusual circumstances, it may be finished in the second semester. Students normally work in pairs, in close collaboration with a member of staff. By undertaking a project students should develop skills which are necessary for experimental or theoretical research (such as initiative, decision making, determining priorities, searching and learning relevant material from literature, ability to collaborate and to report results).
