Overview

Master of Science (Physics)

The Master of Science (Physics) is designed for students with a physics-rich background who are looking for pathways to higher degree study or just looking to extend their knowledge with modern applications.

The course builds on a student’s existing physics, research, and professional skills. 

It provides graduates with not only the practical and theoretical aspects of physics, but also an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and an awareness of social, economic, cultural, and environmental aspects of physics in a global community. 

Projects and coursework have been designed to address topical concerns in industry and society preparing graduates for employment in a physics-related field or further enrollment in a higher degree by research.

A master's research thesis is normally taken in the final two semesters of study and develops research, communication, and technical skills. 

An in-depth investigation of a particular area is completed under the guidance of a supervisor and students can opt to research advanced areas within the discipline.

Students will receive training in advanced research skills and undertake a large independent research project.
