Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • combine the knowledge from various areas of geophysics in order to construct and evaluate experimental measurements and/or theoretical calculations/simulations.
  • report on the results in written and oral form.

Content

The content is defined together with the program coordinator and program advisor to promote further studies within a particular specialisation of the Master programme in Physics.

Instruction

Self studies and a project work.

Assessment

Written and oral examination of the project.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method.
