Bachelor of Science (Physics)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationAre you interested in how a bumblebee flies, how a quantum computer works, or how to build a wind turbine that doesn’t fall down?
If you’re inspired by the beauty of the cosmos and want to reveal its mysteries or use the biggest machine ever built to examine the smallest particles ever observed, Physics is for you.
You’ll learn to think critically about the world and how it works through studying matter and energy, and their interactions. At a fundamental level, biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and even finance can all be explained by physics.
Biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine – at its most fundamental level, everything in nature can be explained by physics.
