Master thesis research 1

Enrollment into the program.

- Selection of the master thesis field (field of physics, interdisciplinary field);
- overview of relevant literature;
- acquaintance with experimental and theoretical methods, as well as with the laboratory environment where the research is going to be conducted;
- research plan.

Odvisna od področja magistrskega dela; poleg temeljne literature pri predmetih, povezanih s temo magistrskega dela, še znanstveni članki z ustreznega področja; 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 scientific papers from the field and other expert literature based on the supervisors recommendation.
