EF1110 Project in Space Physics 9.0 credits

Administer About course

The course aims to give some practical experience of performing one or several typical tasks in the field of space physics, including data analysis and development or evaluation of measurement techniques and instrumentation. The work will take place during 6-8 weeks, typically during the summer. One or more tutors will be available during much of the project time, but it is essential that you are willing to work independently.

Note that you have to identify a project by contacting a potential tutor before you choose the course!
