Additional comments |
This course is open for master students and for PhD students in Physics and Astronomy.(http://www.ru.nl/fnwi/technocentrum). The course will be offered three times per year and accepts six students per course. Students from other disciplines may be accepted dependent on the available capacity. After this course students have a good practical background in designing and manufacturing an instrument, however they have not yet the skills to work on their own in the mechanical workshop.For more details contact Emiel Vissers; e.vissers@science.ru.nl; tel.: 52147 |
