Physics is the foundation of engineering and technology, providing a basis for understanding biology, chemistry, geology and biomedical sciences. 

You’ll work alongside global industry partners like the Australian Antarctic Division, NASA and CSIRO.

Physics is the study of the fundamental laws that govern the world around us, from sub-atomic scales to the entire observable Universe. 

It is the foundation of engineering and technology and enhances our understanding of the other science disciplines, providing a basis for understanding biology, chemistry, geology and biomedical sciences. 

Physics has deep links to mathematics and computing. 

The goals of the physics major are to give you the knowledge and skills to investigate matter and energy in theoretical and experimental terms and to communicate information about these investigations to others.
