This is one of two independent research units for the Quantum Engineering centre for doctoral training, of approximately four months duration. Students will choose projects that have been vetted as appropriate to quantum engineering from proposals submitted by potential supervisors. They are encouraged to expand their horizons with one of the two projects (e.g. a theory project for an experimentalist). It is possible that one could grow into a PhD project.
The main purpose of this unit is to foster independent research skills. Other outcomes include:
Supervised independent research project.
Formative assessment will consist of a progress review outlining the student’s research plan to be completed within the first month, assessed by the supervisor.
Summative assessment will depend on the student’s assessment choice for the mandatory Research Project A (PHYSM0017) module, and will take the form of either an approximately 30 minute-long presentation to be given to the cohort or a report of approximately 3000 words.
Across both modules, every student has to be assessed by means of both a presentation and a report. Assessment will be 50% by the supervisor, 25% by a second assessor (from the QE-CDT academic staff), and 25% by a third assessor (from the academic pool at the University not excluding the QE-CDT staff).
To be specified by the supervisor.
