As you can see they cover pretty much every Physics topic. The actual names of the projects are like \u2018A Search for Dyson Spheres and Cool Astronomical Bodies using the Wide field Infrared Survey Explorer\u2019, \u2018Physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHCb experiment\u2026 ?\u2019 and \u2018The physics of cooking\u2019 and those are just three of the ones I am applying to!<\/p>\n
The application process isn\u2019t the smoothest thing in the world\u2014for a start you need to find a project partner who is interested in the same choices as you. This is easy for some people, but turns out harder for others\u2014many people are leaving next year, and choosing a project you will actually like is pretty important, as otherwise a lot of fourth year could be pretty miserable.<\/p>\n
You get four choices, and as far as I can tell, just need to apply online and write a bit about why you want the project, as well as link up your choices with your partners. It has yet to be seen how many people will end up with choices they want\u2026<\/p>\n
You are also encouraged to go along and talk to the supervisors offering your projects\u2014this is the fun part!<\/p>\n
The two I\u2019ve been to so far have been really interesting\u2014both departments which I could see myself enjoying working in, even though they are both on completely different topics\u2014as you can tell from my illogical list above, I have no idea which area of Physics is my favourite!<\/p>\n
How are you meant to decide between high energy particle Physics and searching for new particles in weird quark interactions, searching for aliens by looking how they harvest the energy of stars, looking to use artificial intelligence to discover new laws of Physics, or finding out scientifically how cooking works?<\/p>\n
