This module provides students with experience of working in a nuclear industrial department, and/or the School of Physics & Astronomy nuclear laboratory and carrying out an individual research project. The technical content depends on the project chosen, but the project will draw upon expertise gained in the earlier modules and allowing students to develop further their knowledge and understanding of particular topics. Students give a short oral presentation of their project and produce a written project report.
