About the course

Physics underpins our modern world and is critical in driving the next generation of innovations. Study a major in Physics to be part of this change. Physics is a branch of science which studies matter, energy, and their interactions. However, it's more than just a branch of science but is foundational to all other sciences. Light, heat, sound, gravity, motion, electricity and magnets, are all the classic topics of study for a physicist. At least seven Nobel Prizes in physics have been fundamental to the invention of the mobile phone, including for semiconductors and transistors, light emitting diodes (LEDs) for screen - and new physics discoveries are happening everyday Structures in butterfly wings making them green without pigments. The creamy texture of a scoop of ice-cream is physics. A lizard walking upside down on glass. Ice floating on water. Light sensing in the eye. These everyday phenomena often have enormous immediate practical value to our industries, our environment and our well-being.

　　A physics education hones skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovation. These are all skills and attributes in great demand, whether in a career in science or elsewhere. This Physics major provides the essential physics principles found in physics majors throughout the world. You’ll experience this through a hands-on, practical approach focused on applications of these physical principles to our key industries and global challenges. You can undertake an additional year of study to complete an Honours degree, offering enhanced employment prospects and is the entry point into a Master’s or Doctoral research degree.
