Enrollment into the program, attending 1st semester of Seminar 1.

Selection of the master thesis field (field of physics, interdisciplinary field);

choice of potential supervisors for Master thesis, specifically from overview of relevant fields at Seminar 1;
discussion with the supervisor about the potential subject of the Master thesis

Odvisna od izbranega področja magistrskega dela; poleg temeljne literature pri predmetih, povezanih s temo magistrskega dela, še pregledni znanstveni članki z različnih fizikalnih ali interdisciplinarnih področij; pregledne in specialistične revije po nasvetu mentorja.
Depending on the subject of the master thesis; beside the basic literature for the courses related to the thesis also overview scientific papers from various fields; other expert literature based on the supervisors recommendation.

Objectives:
familiarity with research fields for a potential Master thesis and typical scientific methods used in the chosen field of research

Competences:
overview of physics research fields, choice of appropriate research problem and scientific methods

Knowledge and understanding

Understanding of basic physics principles related to the subject of the chosen thesis and basic research methods used for the chosen problem

Application

Familiarity with research work methods to be encountered in the future scientific and research work.

Reflection

Connection with knowledge acquired at various courses in previous studies. Capability of knowledge interconnection is searching for solutions to given problem.

Transferable skills

Critical overview of research fields, definition of scientific research problem

Individual and consultations with the supervisors.

Choice of supervisor and subject of the Master thesis passed / not passed (according to the Statute of UL)
Passed / not passed (according to the Statute of UL)
