This subject, taken in conjunction with PHS3022, is designed for students wishing to devote the whole of their third year to the study of physics. The compulsory units are `Electromagnetism', `Statistical mechanics', `Quantum mechanics' and `Applications of quantum mechanics'. The remaining four units may be chosen from the list of units offered in first semester. In some cases units from other departments, including the `Electrical and optical properties' unit from MSC3011, may be included in the choice but they may not exceed the equivalent of two lecture units.
