Last checked: 23 Aug 2026 UTCOverview
PHS4210 and PHS4220 together, are equivalent to PHS4200 but they enable students to study part time by allowing completion of the work over a longer time period. You are 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 student's 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 (spanning PHS4210 and PHS4220) related to the research project component of their Honours course.
