| Summary | This course, together with course Physics Year Abroad Level 11 (which must also be taken), constitutes 12 months full-time study at an approved university/research facility outside the UK. This combination of courses constitutes the curricula for students on the MPhys degree programme Physics with a Year Abroad who are on placement in the IM year. During the period students undertake an extended research project on a topic agreed with their host supervisor. Assessment consists of a literature survey related to the project, a written project report, an oral presentation and public summary, performance on the project and demonstration of high-level physics skills through problem-solving and application. |
