A major in Physics reveals the fundamental laws of nature, the universe, and their real-world applications.
You’ll learn to model, experiment and analyse - developing skills prized in research, engineering, computing and innovation.
Explore available Physics majors in the following study areas:
Physics is the foundation of scientific discovery - it explains how nature works, from atomic structure to the behaviour of galaxies. By majoring in Physics within the sciences, you’ll combine experimentation and theory to study energy, forces, and matter.
You’ll gain analytical, technical and research skills that prepare you for careers in science, technology, defence, and beyond.
For high-achieving students who want to integrate Honours study into their degree. Deepen your expertise through advanced physics coursework and an early start to research in your chosen field.
