Overview

MPhys Projects

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.

Assessment methods

Method Weight
Written assignment (inc essay) 75%

Feedback methods

Feedback will be offered by supervisors at each stage of the work, but especially about two weeks prior to submission, when you should discuss the structure and broad content of your report with your supervisor, who will offer oral feedback.
