Internship in Physics
The course consists of supervised practical work activities related to physics in at a company, agency or another workplace. You will independently perform work tasks, document your work in writing, and present your insights about the work you performed, and your reflections on the role, opportunities and limitations of your physics education in industry.
The course takes place during normal working hours. It may be included in a masters degree program at Fysikum, but can also be taken as an elective course.
Teaching Format
The course begins with an introduction, and an internship with a connection to physics under a supervisor at the place and work. Prior to the start of the internship, a project plan must be approved by the examiner and the student. The student should participate in work activities to the same extent as other employees. Participation in the introduction and an oral presentation at the end of the course are compulsory.
Assessment
The course is examined on the basis of a written logbook, letter from the supervisor, and an oral presentation.
The course is graded according to a two-point grading scale: fail (U) or pass (G).
Examiner
The course do not have a fixed schedule, but are instead agreed upon with the supervisor and course coordinator at the beginning of the course.
The literature is based on scientific publications and reports in the relevant field assembled by the student through literature searches, as well as material provided by the supervisor at the internship site.
