Physics is a fundamental science and the foundation of engineering and other applied sciences, utilised in a variety of disciplines from climate studies to financial systems. During the degree you will choose between two study options: the basic physics program, designed with a minimum of compulsory subjects combined with elective subjects; or a second major in another discipline or the full physics program, if you plan to undertake honours and a career as a professional physicist. In the Bachelor of Science (Physics) you will learn the basis for making, interpreting and extending observations relating to the behaviour and structure of matter. You will study astronomy, cosmology, mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optoelectronics, vibrations, waves, optics, and modern, quantum and statistical mechanics, complemented by advanced mathematics subjects.
