  The SUPA Graduate School runs an extensive programme of Particle Physics courses to provide new graduate students with the necessary skills required to carry out research. The Particle Physics courses are divided into categories corresponding to whether the student is undertaking theoretical or experimental research areas.   Students should discuss with their supervisor which optional courses they should attend.  

  All experimental particle physics students should take all of the following core courses: Detector Physics, Collider Physics, Flavour Physics & Discussion Classes, unless there is a good academic reason to make a different choice and in consultation with their supervisor.

  Courses: 

  Semester 1 (including the list and course description)

  Detectors (SUPADET)
  Institution: Glasgow & Edinburgh
  Delivery: Video Conference and Face to Face

  Advanced Statistical Physics (SUPAASP)
  Institution: Edinburgh
  Delivery: Video Conference

  Relativistic Quantum Field Theory (SUPARQF)
  Institution: Glasgow
  Delivery: Face to Face

  Semester 2 (including the list and course description)

  Collider Physics (SUPACOP)
  Institution: Edinburgh & Glasgow
  Delivery: Video Conference and Face to Face

  Presenting Your Research (SUPAPYR)
  Institution: Glasgow/Edinburgh
  Delivery: Video Conference

  Flavour Physics (SUPAFLA)
  Institution: Glasgow

  Lattice QCD (SUPALAT)
  Institution: Glasgow
  Delivery: Video Conference

  Quarks and Hadron Spectroscopy (SUPAQHS)
  Institution: Glasgow
  Delivery: Video Conference

  Professional Development courses:
  

  In addition, general topics should be studied, and those of particular interest to astronomy and space physics students include advanced data analysis (an introductory prequel is also offered) and courses in different programming languages such as C++, plus transferable skills modules.

  Professional Development semester 1

  Professional Development semester 2

  Please discuss your choice with your PhD supervisor.

  This is a metacourse - a parent course to which all the Theme's teaching course belong as 'child' courses. It provides an administrative area and mailing list for this Theme within the Graduate School. Anyone who is a participant of at least one of the child courses (in any role - lecturer, student or undergraduate student) will automatically be a participant in the metacourse. Extra members can be added by the courses office and by existing lecturers provided they have editing status.
  
  Files can be uploaded to this area to be shared by Theme members. The maximum file size is 20MB.
  
  Some Themes will find many uses for their metacourse area but others may rarely use it. Other metacourses can be created outside the Graduate School if required. Please contact SUPA Central to have new areas created.
  
  Every participant in the metacourse is subscribed to the News Forum below making it the ideal place to post important messages that need to reach every member of the Theme in a Graduate School context. Editing lecturers can create as many other forums as they wish for other discussions.
  
  If you would like more details about metacourse and how they might be used, please contact the SUPA Technology Team.
