Hide-Research degrees in Experimental Physics typically include a mixture of course modules and original research work, which may involve laboratory investigations and computational studies.
All research students will be registered onto a Structured Research Programme. Students need to pass a certain number of credits in course modules in addition to successful completion and examination of the thesis. The student’s original research as presented in the thesis is the sole means of assessment for the award of the degree.
MSc by Research students must take a minimum of 10 credits in taught modules (at least 5 in transferable modules and at least 5 in subject specific modules) from the Structured PhD programme.
