Students spend the equivalent of one semester full-time on an approved project in Physics or Meteorology and Physical Oceanography in order to consolidate aspects of the coursework and to gain experience in research. The project may be done inside the University or outside in an industry placement. To complete the project the student will be required to write a report and give a one-hour seminar. Both the oral and written reports should include a critical appraisal of the objectives, techniques and results of the project.
