Bachelor's Thesis in Physics I

Overview

The Bachelor's Thesis in Physics I is a 15-credit course that provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of physics, mathematics, and other relevant subjects to an independent project. The course is designed to help students develop their skills in planning and carrying out independent work, reporting on larger projects in writing and orally, and broadening and deepening their knowledge of physics.

Expected Study Results

After completing the course, students should be able to:

• Apply their knowledge of physics, mathematics, and other relevant subjects
• Plan and carry out independent work
• Report on larger projects in writing and orally
• Broaden and deepen their knowledge of physics

Forms of Instruction

The degree project can be carried out within or outside the university, or as a collaborative project. Instruction is given in the form of individual supervision and seminar exercises.

Examination

The degree project is presented in a written report that is discussed at a seminar. If the report is written in Swedish, a summary in English should be included. For the degree project, one of the grades Fail (U), Pass (G), or Pass with Distinction (VG) is set.
