Outline:

This module aims to introduce students to the quantum physics of atoms and molecules and their interactions with electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. It builds on electromagnetism and quantum physics, to enable the student to understand the structure and spectra of simple atoms and molecules, and to develop such understanding to a point where physical problems can be tackled.

Aims:

To provide an introduction to the structure and spectra of atoms and molecules and their interactions with electric and magnetic fields
	To revise and go beyond the physics of the one-electron hydrogen atom introduced in the course PHAS0022 – Quantum Physics
	To prepare students for more advanced courses in atomic and molecular spectroscopy such as PHAS0099 – Molecular Physics, and PHAS0105 – Atom and Photon Physics
Teaching and Learning Methodology:

This course is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of problem solving tutorials and additional discussion.

In addition to timetabled lecture and PST hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.

This module teaches students how to use principles of design thinking to reason in sophisticated and persuasive ways about the practice of strategic analysis. This module is neither a business nor a corporate strategy course—instead, it should be thought of as a critical thinking module taught using strategy as a context.

In an increasingly uncertain business environment, leaders cannot be effective strategists solely by learning a series of strategy frameworks for single businesses and for corporate entities comprising multiple businesses (which is the function of conventional modules teaching business and corporate strategy respectively)—they must also understand how to reason about these frameworks in sophisticated ways and think about them in relation to the kinds of data needed to design good strategy. Most importantly, they must be able to make persuasive arguments about strategic decisions.

This module complements conventional business and corporate strategy courses by emphasizing and giving students experience in using critical thinking, rigorous argument, and use of evidence in the context of thinking through, selecting, and communicating strategy effectively. Students in this course will begin by learning how to use design thinking to supplement conventional strategy in uncertain environments or entrepreneurial ventures. Students will then apply these strategic thinking tools through interactive in-class case analyses and a written strategic analysis on an organization of their choice.
