Overview

Bachelor of Science (Biomolecular Physics)

This degree at UOW will excite and challenge students with an aptitude for physics and mathematics and an interest in biology and chemistry.

Biomolecular physicists work closely with other scientists to better understand diseases and improve treatment, diagnosis and recovery in various medical conditions. 

They assist in developing molecular diagnostic instrumentation for government and institutional research laboratories. 

They can also assist beamline scientists at National Research Facilities (e.g. ANSTO and the Australian Synchrotron).

In the Bachelor of Science (Biomolecular Physics), you will complete subjects in physics, mathematics, chemistry, earth and environmental science and statistics. 

You will also study specialist subjects in molecules, cells and organisms, biochemistry, mechanics and thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optoelectronics, quantum mechanics and biology at the nanoscale.

This degree will contribute to developing knowledge to visualise and understand molecules and use that understanding to develop new treatments and therapies to combat disease.

All subjects include a major practical component to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare you for real-world activities in your future careers.
