Queensland University of Technology
Bachelor of Science (Physics)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationLearn how to think, not what to think. Throughout this course, you will be encouraged to question, explore and conduct research. The goal is not just to secure a job, but to equip you with the skills and knowledge to make a real difference in the world.
Physics Major
Spend significant time doing lab experimental work and undertake research in your final year. Study options include lasers and optics, medical physics, astrophysics, and more.
The course has a strong applied emphasis so you will spend a significant amount of time in the undergraduate teaching laboratories. In each unit, the theory will be supported by experimental work, and in your final year, you will undertake research and gain exposure to the research laboratories through the experimental physics unit.
