Postgraduate Seminars - School of Physics / CRANN

Most of the taught elements of our PhD program are concentrated in the first two years. Before confirmation on/transferring from the MSc to the PhD register, students must have successfully completed their ECTS course requirements. Attendance at the Seminar Series is also required.
