start. It is a free open online course about the physics of hyperfine interactions and experimental methods based thereupon. You can take this course self-paced at any time of the year, or - if you start on Feb 12 or before - you can take it in sync with students
at Ghent University. In the latter case, you can ask questions and get feedback just as these students do.</span><br class="">
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeueLTPro-Roman;" class="">The course is scheduled for 12 weeks, and requires about 5 hours of work per week. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding, less on mathematical derivations. The level is advanced bachelor or (early)
master. A general science background at bachelor level is the expected entry level.</span></div>
