Bachelor of Science - Physics major

Course Overview Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered about our planet and the forces that govern its motion? Perhaps you've tried to imagine the vast distances that light travels to reach us from the stars. Or maybe you're curious about atoms, the tiny building blocks of all matter. The observable universe is comprised of two parts: radiation and matter. Physics is the study of these parts and how they interact. It aims to understand the physical world through experimentation and mathematical modelling. Physics has led to technological advances such as phones, computers, GPS, radiotherapy and human spaceflight. Current research in physics has applications in IT, electronics, renewables, health and engineering. Key Program Highlights Course details available on the university website.
