MRes Photonics

This course is aimed at students who wish to develop their research interests and skills in photonics. Photonics is an exciting area of physics, which enables developments in fields as diverse as biomedical imaging and high power fiber lasers. It will: give you the experience of undertaking a major, individual project and recording the results in a full scientific report and presentation; train you in appropriate research methods; develop your written and oral communication skills for both specialised and non-specialised audiences and equip you for further academic study at doctoral level in photonics, and in subjects where photonics is an important enabling science. The laboratory work is continually assessed during the course. Assessment involves the following: Examination; Oral presentation; Problem exercises and written report.
