| POSTGRADUATE
RESEARCH
 The
School of Physics offers Master of Philosophy, Masters by Research,
and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. These research degrees involve
the student independently researching a specific topic under the
guidance of a supervisor. The Master of Philosophy also involves
coursework.
ENROLMENT
and RE-ENROLMENT
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are enrolled at the
start of every semester and that your enrolment is correct. In
order to ensure that your enrolment details are up to date:
Contact Professor Mike Gal to get your enrolment form.
Carefully read and complete the enrolment form. MSC and PHD students
will usually enrol into the course PHYS9103 Research Thesis Physics
F/T ( for full time students) or PHYS9113 Research Thesis Physics
P/T (part time students)
Return the form to Mike Gal for approval.
Login to your student profile at myUNSW
Double-check that you do not have any outstanding fees as this
will prevent staff from enrolling you.
Students must enrol by the semester census date. Variation of
enrolment after this date is not permitted.
ANNUAL
PROGRESS REVIEW
It is a condition of continual enrolment in the higher research
degree that your performance is assessed by an annual progress
review. Annual progress reviews provide an opportunity for you,
your supervisor/s and your School to:take stock of how your project
has gone over the past year (or 6 months if you are new); review
all aspects of your candidature; and develop a plan of action
for the next year.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The School of Physics offers Postgraduate Assistantship (PA) positions
intended to provide a reasonable level of partial financial support
for higher degree (MSc/PhD) students in physics. In addition to
being enrolled in a postgraduate program, students awarded a PA
position will take part in the School's undergraduate teaching
activities thereby gaining valuable teaching experience. PAs will
receive a (taxable) stipend of $10,000, $5,000 or $2,500 p.a.
(according to the scholarship) while they are enrolled in a postgraduate
program at the School of Physics of the UNSW. Students need to
reapply for a PA each year.
The
Postgraduate Director is Prof
Mike Gal and students should contact him in the first instance.
The Graduate Research School provides advice and assistance to
all higher degree research students at UNSW.
