University of New South Wales
Bachelor of Science (Physics)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationPhysics is the study of the laws of nature that govern the behaviour of the universe, from sub-atomic particles to the galaxies. If you're interested in solving real-world challenges, studying physics is a great first step. When you choose to study physics, you'll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who share a curiosity about the universe and the laws that govern it. Our researchers seek to use physics to better understand and address important issues confronting humanity today.
The study of physics can take you from cosmology and astrophysics to exploring the latest developments in quantum computing, nanotechnology, big data and the history of the universe.
