Bachelor of Science (Physics)
This degree course may be taken on a part time basis provided
that students are able to attend classes at the scheduled
times.
Two major programs in Physics are offered:
(i) Basic Major Program in Physics - a basic
Physics program, designed with a minimum of compulsory subjects
for combining with an array of elective subjects or a second
major in another discipline - or
(ii) Full Major Program - a full Physics
program for students planning to undertake Honours and to
pursue a career as a professional physicist. Graduates of
both programs may apply for membership of the Australian Institute
of Physics.
THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS MUST BE COMPLETED IN ORDER TO QUALIFY
FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (PHYSICS).
