Our understanding of how the Universe works have grown rapidly in the past few decades, but if you’re keen on physics, you’re probably more excited by what we don’t yet know.
The researchers are pushing the boundaries in fields like gravitational waves, quantum information and particle physics and working with the world’s most advanced scientific instruments, including:
The Large Hadron Collider, the LIGO gravitational wave detector, the Murchison Widefield Array low-frequency radio telescope and the Australian Synchrotron
You’ll leave the course at The University of Melbourne with a major research project to feature in your CV.
In the research project, you’ll join one of the expert research teams at the forefront of theoretical or experimental physics.
