Aims
Philosophy
The main purpose of these projects, in addition to illustrating particular aspects of physics, is to represent tasks that might well be expected of physics graduates in the real world of research, technology and commerce. You will seek to attain a goal agreed with the project supervisor (your 'line manager') by deploying all the skills and physical background you have accumulated during the past three years.
