ASP4210 · Astrophysics honours coursework A

Overview

ASP4210 and ASP4220 together, are equivalent to ASP4200 but they enable you to study part-time by allowing completion of the work over a longer time period. You will be required to select three sub-units (covering advanced coursework topics) from offerings within the School of Physics and Astronomy. These sub-units are to be selected in consultation with the your academic supervisor. Some sub-units may be chosen from outside the School - with permission from the honours coordinator. You will also complete a literature review related to the research project component of their honours course.

Learning outcomes

1. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of astrophysics and related disciplines.
2. Synthesize and interpret their knowledge.
3. Apply their knowledge and critical thinking skills to the solution of complex problems.
4. Plan, and efficiently carry out, work requirements.
5. Make effective use of information and communication technology for the collection and analysis of data, the solution of problems and the presentation of their work. Students will also be able to:
6. Understand, use and explain the basic concepts and principles of the research literature which underpins their chosen area of research in astrophysics.

Workload

An average of 24 hours of study per week split between the three sub-units and work on the literature review.

Student experience, not official rules. Nothing here changes what the Handbook says.
