Outline Outline The Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Physics) enables students to build on their knowledge of physics with a strong research focus. The Major combines four 25-credit point advanced coursework units taught by internal and external academics with expertise in specific fields of research, with a 100-credit point independent research project. This year is primarily for those wishing to go on to doctoral studies either locally or globally.
This major sits within the Bachelor of Science (Science) (Honours) degree. To apply for this major, you will apply for the Bachelor of Science (Science) (Honours).
Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.
What you'll learn - have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in the Physics field of study that is at a level that is informed by knowledge of the forefront of Physics, within a research context, GC1
- can apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to Physics, and have competencies demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving advanced problems within Physics, GC2
- understand the constructs of the scientific method and apply these principles in Physics by communicating new knowledge, including using digital technologies, GC3
- can gather and interpret relevant research data within Physics to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with Physics, and how these impact upon the practice of Physics, GC4
- understand the global and cultural issues within Physics and how these impact on the practice of their profession, GC5
- display a very high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
