Example Study Plan – Jay
Jay is a domestic student who completed an undergraduate degree in Physics two years ago, with a strong focus on quantum mechanics. Over the past two years Jay has worked as a statistician and analyst in the mining industry, and is returning in Semester 2 to commence the MPhys (Astro) course. Although Jay obtained no programming experience in a language such as python, R, C, or FORTRAN during their undergraduate course, they have become skilled with R during their time working in industry. Jay has not taken any astronomy or astrophysics units in the past, and so requires two conversion units. Jay is offered 12 points of Advance Standing (2 units). Jay decides to take two optional units to fill out the 2 years of study.
