Postgraduate Modules
A postgraduate lecture module consists of approximately 18 hours of teaching (including tutorials and eventually laboratories) and a formal examination.
In addition, postgraduate students can take selected undergraduate modules (on condition they have not taken these modules as undergraduates).
Students should contact Jeanette Cummins (cumminsj at tcd.ie) to register their intention to take a module.
Courses for Postgraduate Students provided by School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin
