Description
The aim of this module is to develop the student's independent research and problem-solving skills, by requiring them to plan, undertake and present an extended open-ended research project, conducted over two full terms. Topics can be chosen from a range of research areas in Physics and related disciplines, both theoretical and experimental.
All Physics Laboratory courses within the Department contribute to a continuing development of students’ practical skills extending throughout the four/three years of the MSci/BSc degrees. Collectively the modules have the overall aim of equipping the student with those practical skills which employers expect to find in graduates in physics whether they are employed in scientific research or development, or in a wider context. Taken in their final year of study by some students following Physics-related BSc degrees, PHAS0048 contributes to this aim by bringing the skills acquired in earlier years to bear on an open-ended project of two-term duration.
