Disgrifiad cryno

The project includes literature research and a planning phase followed by main project work. The student normally carries out the project under the supervision of an academic member of staff within one of the research groups in the department. The results are interpreted and discussed in terms of the current knowledge of the research topic gained through the refereed literature, and the entire project-work including a literature review presented in a formal written report.

Nod

The module is aimed at developing the research and practical project skills essential for a professional physicist.

Cynnwys

The research topic will be different for each project but it will usually be within the expertise of the Solar Systems Physics research group.
The module runs throughout the semester and is supported by weekly tutorials with the supervisor.
