PY4064 Project

Students are required to undertake an original research project, ideally in an industrial laboratory, during Michaelmas term of the Senior Sophister year. Students are strongly encouraged to do their projects in an academic or industrial research lab outside Ireland. In many cases students travelling abroad will be expected to begin their project in July or August and work through until December. In some cases, placements abroad are funded. To travel abroad students must achieve an overall grade of 50% in JS. In the past, destinations have included California, New Zealand and Australia. Students who are ineligible to take up a placement outside College on the basis of Junior Sophister grade must undertake an original research project in a College laboratory during the period September to December of Senior Sophister year.

A project report must be submitted on the first day of Hilary Term and students are required to give a poster presentation on their project in Trinity Term. Click here for project marking scheme.


PY4062 Seminars

Students are required to attend a selection of seminars from the Physics and Chemistry seminar series during Hilary term. Timetable

PY4063 Tutorials
