Bachelor of Science (Physics)
Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00213J
Spend significant time doing lab experimental work and undertake research in your final year. Study options include lasers and optics, medical physics, astrophysics and more. Physicists are involved in finding solutions to challenges facing our world, including developing instruments for environmental monitoring, computer models for climate change prediction, and developing solar and renewable energy systems. Physicists are also attempting to address the world’s ever-increasing appetite for information and information processing by undertaking research into quantum computers, nanotechnology, lasers and photonics.Physics deals with the natural laws and processes, and the states and properties of matter, energy, space and time. Physics also underlies many of the recent advances in information technology, medicine and biotechnology. Areas of specialisation include mechanics, electromagnetism, lasers and optics, medical physics, computational physics, nuclear and radiation physics, astronomy and astrophysics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and relativity.
