MPhys Final Year Project (899F3)

45 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn and spring teaching

You will undertake a substantial two-semester research project under the supervision of a member of teaching staff. 

As part of this you will give an oral presentation and write a substantial report communicating your results. 

The topic will normally be chosen from a list that will vary from year to year and will be made available to you during the second semester of your third year.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 450 hours of work. This breaks down into about 36 hours of contact time and about 414 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
