You will be required to select three sub-units (covering advanced coursework topics) from offerings within the School of Physics and Astronomy. These sub-units are to be selected in consultation with the your academic supervisor. Some sub-units may be chosen from outside the School - with permission from the honours coordinator.
You will also complete a literature review related to the research project component of their honours course.
