  2. Dr. Stuart Brand : Level 4 Course Director. • Primarily responsible for academic matters; • Member of Departmental Education Committee (EC); • Chairs occasional meetings of L4 teaching staff; • Adrian Skelton : Teaching administrator. • Manages the M.Phys. Projects; • Administration of weekly problems etc……….. • Dr. Chris Maxwell : Natural Sciences Liaison Officer. • Co-ordination of Physics aspects of Nats. Sci. degree; STAFF WITH SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES RE. L4

  3. Physics Department modules available at L4 PHYS4121 Atoms, Lasers and Qubits PHYS4141 Advanced Theoretical Physics PHYS4151 Advanced Condensed Matter Physics PHYS4161 Advanced Astrophysics PHYS4181 Particle Theory PHYS4241 Theoretical Physics 4 PHYS4201 Theoretical Astrophysics PHYS4221 Advanced Physics 4 PHYS4231 Planets and Cosmology 4 + Nat. Sci. - Foundations 4A/B PHYS4251/4261www All MPhys(F301), www MPhys Theoretical Physics(F344) www MPhys Physics and Astronomy(FF3N)www students must do PHYS4213 Project

  4. 3 single lecture modules : • choose what is appropriate for you given your interests and allocated project. • NB AdvP.4 (PHYS4221), Th.Phys.4 (PHYS4241) & Plan.&Cos. 4 (PHYS4231), • PHYS4251/61 (Foundations A/B) are essentially L3 modules : • Can only be taken if not already done at L3 (PHYS3641, PHYS3651, • PHYS3661 respectively )! • assessment differs from L3 version in that an essay is also required • which normally counts for 20% of module mark. LEVEL 4 COURSE MODULES : 1 X Project Module : PHYS4213 (triple module) 50 % Year mark - Major difference to Levels 1 – 3 SEE PROJECT SUPERVISOR BEFORE YOU LEAVE IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO!

  5. Project Assessment : Four components • Report mark - main component. • Supervisor’s mark – diligence, initiative etc. • Oral examination mark. • Seminar mark.
