Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The proposed learning outcomes are:

* Apply knowledge of core concepts in physics to more advanced topics in relativity, nuclear and particle physics;
* Formulate solutions to problems in relativity, nuclear and particle physics involving new concepts with limited guidance;
* Demonstrate knowledge of the frontiers of the discipline, for example, through cases where current theories fail to explain a set of experimental data;
* Locate and make use of detailed information on current topics in physics in the primary research literature;
* Summarise current thinking in relativity, nuclear and particle physics in a variety of written and oral forms, both alone and in collaboration with others.
