Under these codes students may choose from a variety of modules including coursework and research projects.

The modules presented as part of PHYS3044/5 courses may, but need not necessarily, include the following:

Membrane biophysics: This module is designed for students with a good background in physics, chemistry, engineering or mathematics and an interest in applying these skills to biology. Theories and models for biological phenomena such as transmission of information in nervous systems will be discussed with an emphasis on biophysical aspects of the relationship between events at a molecular level and biological responses. Computer simulations will be used to illustrate these concepts. The course is run as a series of informal tutorials followed by project work. Assessment will consist of a project report and seminar. This module normally runs during the second semester.

Research Projects in Physics: This module is designed to connect students, on an individual basis, to active researchers at the ANU. The student will be expected to participate in a project at a level equivalent to that required for a 3 or 6 unit course. The project topic can be any area in Physics provided appropriate supervision exists. Assessment will typically be based on logbook keeping, a final project report and seminar. Students are advised to contact the Academic Contact for information on available projects.

The Research Projects in Physics courses are offered as Honours Pathways Options.

On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

Assessment for research projects will be based on:

• Logbook or project portfolio providing continuous evidence of the student's research efforts and conceptual development (50%; LO 1-6)
• Formal written report (40%; LO 5, 6)
• Oral presentation (10%; LO 6)
