Graduate Thesis Defense

All Masters of Science in Physics students are required to undertake a thesis which is then defended in front of both the public and their thesis committee.

These are held, unless otherwise noted, in the Physics Building. Notify the physics office preferably a week in advance for public notices to be posted.
