Physicists actively apply their knowledge and technical skills to tackle the major challenges of our time. This unit will draw upon your learning in previous years for you to work on a practical project related to the grand challenges identified by the School of Physics, which includes Artificial Intelligence and Physics, Fundamental laws and the Universe, The Nano and Quantum World, A Sustainable Future, Physics and Society, and Physics in Medicine and Biology. This unit is designed to facilitate a collaborative, inquiry-based approach to complex problem solving. You will have the opportunity to plan, design and analyse your own research project within a small group of students. You will work in a team and will be supervised by an academic from the School of Physics. In this unit, you will not only deepen your understanding around specific project-related issues, but also develop skills in professional reflection, collaboration, and complex problem solving skills. All of these skills are highly valued by employers.
