Gary Morris
Honours Director

Honours Year is likely to be the most exciting, challenging and rewarding year of your undergraduate career. The research component makes it different in character from the previous years. You will interact one-on-one with individual academics and research groups, and become a member of the university community.

These webpages detail the course syllabi and projects on offer in 2008. The research projects allow you to work on forefront topics in research. At UNSW we are fortunate in having a School of Physics that has many research groups and individuals at the cutting edge of science.

Please read these webpages, fill out the preference form and return it to Patricia Furst(Room 62). You are strongly advised to speak to the supervisors of the projects that interest you before submitting the form.

You can also contact me

  • directly by e-mail (G.Morriss@unsw.edu.au),
  • telephone (9385 5240) or
  • visit Room 59D, Old Main Building.
