Contact: Dr Craig Agnor

Students will use their skills and knowledge to carry out an independent research project in the area of physics or astronomy. This involves planning, executing and reporting the results of an experiment or investigation. Each project is open-ended and performed in collaboration with a specialist supervisor.

Regular supervisor meetings are supplemented with tutorials that develop key skills such as understanding research problems; effective reading and note taking; how to search existing literature; conceptualising research; and effective showcasing of project and student skills.

The tutorials will also equip students with core employability advice and skills to prepare them for taking confident next steps into industry/academia after the end of their studies.
