Introduction
From 2021: you willl enrol in KYA418 and KYA419 plus four coursework units. You also have the option to undertake honours part time over two years (25 each credit points per semester for four semesters). Pre 2021 Physics Honours is essentially a single full year program which is split 50:50 between coursework and research. The way the student management system works is that you have to enrol in four 25% units (KYA418, KYA419, KYA436 and KYA437) to undertake honours. You will receive IC grades for the first three of these units and the grade for the course as a whole will be reported against the KYA437 unit. You also have the option to undertake honours part time over two years (a single 25% unit each semester for four semesters).
