Physics (Advanced) Undergraduate major

Those who study physics are fascinated by fundamental questions about the origin, nature and function of our Universe. Physics seeks to explain relationships involving the smallest and the largest structures, utilising the four known forces: strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational.

 

This is a Bachelor of Advanced Science honours course, designed for high-performing students to deepen their expertise in physics with research, leadership and entrepreneurship skills.

 

In this course, you can gain considerable expertise conducting physics experiments and solving real-world problems with mathematical and computational skills that have application in a diverse range of careers and innovative projects. In fact, the advanced level mathematics and computer science in this course aligns it with high-profile international projects such as the Square Kilometre Array.

 

The course offers a flexible approach that enables you to undertake for-credit immersive research experiences, industry placement and/or interdisciplinary team-based projects. It provides opportunities for you to source internships that can be used for course credit.
