Research Internship in Physics

About this programme

In the course, you have the possibility to early in your education work in a research laboratory. Here, a student is handling sensitive samples of nanoparticles in solution. The sample is then studied using lasers and detectors. The course consists of supervised participation in research activities at a university, college or company. You will learn to work independently, document your work in writing, and report on the research question, the connection between your work and that question, as well as reflect on ethical aspects of the research work. This is a first cycle course given during the daytime. It is an elective course. The teaching consists of supervised internship in a research group at a university, college, or companies that conducts physics research and seminars. Participation in all teaching activities is compulsory. Supervisors and suggestions on internship are provided by the department. Before the internship period begins, a plan for the work is approved by the examiner. Under special circumstances the examiner may, after consultation with the relevant teacher, exempt the student from the obligation to participate in certain compulsory activities. The student may then be assigned an additional task to compensate. The course is examined through a written logbook, written feedback by the supervisor, and an oral presentation at the end of the course. The course is graded according to a two-point grading scale: fail (U) or pass (G). The course do not have a fixed schedule, but are instead agreed upon with the supervisor and course coordinator at the begin
