This 48-point unit consists of a research project and dissertation which comprises 50 per cent of the Master of Science in Physics. The dissertation is based on an individual research project undertaken within one of the research groups in the School of Physics. It is expected that the project normally involves original research leading to the establishment of new knowledge in the field. Students develop analytical and research skills that have application not only to their specific field of research but also to a wide range of employment opportunities in government and industry. -- Course Website
