In this subject, students undertake a program of original research in one of the many research fields in which the School of Physics is active and internationally recognised: astrophysics, condensed matter physics, optics, and particle physics. The research may be experimental and/or theoretical in nature. It will be conducted under the supervision of a member of the Schools academic staff. The results will be reported in the form of a thesis.
Students would normally enrol in a combination of Physics Research Project subjects as indicated below over two semesters of full-time study or over four semesters of part-time study, to ensure they have completed a total of 50 points by the end of their course.
PHYC40004 Physics Research Project - 12.5 points
PHYC40002 Physics Research Project - 25.0 points
PHYC40007 Physics Research Project - 37.5 points
PHYC40008 Physics Research Project - 50.0 points
Intended learning outcomes
- Introduce students to the current research literature in specialized areas;
- engage students in their own research by participation in the activities of a research group in the School of Physics.
