Course Components
- Communication (35%): Coursework (Seminar Reviews) and Presentation.
- Project (65%): Planning/Logbook and Report/Viva.
Learning Outcomes
- LO1: Undertake an independent programme of work in mathematics and/or physics aligned with the course subject specialism, that includes the analysis, interpretation, and critical evaluation of the results to reach conclusions that are appropriate for the particular project.
- LO2: Write a full and clear report that conforms to pre-agreed guidelines.
- LO3: Manage one’s time, setting, and achieving appropriate targets throughout the project, including the provision of any necessary documentation, so that the work is completed by the stated deadline.
- LO4: Present and defend the results of the project in a viva.
- LO5: Critically apply concepts and laws from physics and/or mathematics to evaluate the scientific content of a research work.
- LO6: Demonstrate awareness of current themes of research in mathematics and physics by communicating in a style accessible to a lay audience on material delivered in a series of research seminars.
- LO7: Demonstrate awareness of modern research practices by presenting a critical review of a research paper in the form of a short seminar presentation.
