Physics: Master's Degree Project

Education facts

Code: FYSM34

<p>The overall purpose of the course is that the student independently should conduct a scientific project within a well-definied sub-field of physics. The student chooses, in consultation with the supervisor and examiner, an independent degree project corresponding to 30 credits. The project can be experimental or theoretical. The project can either be linked to current scientific projects at the department or to problems within the subject area at companies or other departments within or outside the university. If the project is carried out outside the department, there also has to be a supervisor from the department. Proposals on degree projects are, for example, posted on the course website. </p><p>https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/4077</p>
