The Bachelor of Science (BSc), with a major in Physics  at the University of Auckland

You have many options available to you within a BSc Physics major. 

You can choose to keep your Physics major general, or you can choose to follow one of two Physics pathways, in order to focus your studies further:

• Medical Physics and Imaging Technology: The science of biomedical optics, biophotonics, and medical physics.                                                                                                                                                           Students on this pathway will gain specialist training in the use of optical and laser technologies for biomedical studies, with applications in sensing, medicine, and modeling.
• Photonics: The science and technology of light. Students on this pathway will gain specialist training in photonic and electronic engineering, advanced physics, and mathematical electronics.

You’ll complete PHYSICS 399, the Physics capstone course, in your final year of study. 

In the capstone course, you’ll employ core methodologies (experimental, observational, computational, and numerical) to investigate some aspect of a key physical phenomenon. 

You’ll relate your findings to contemporary research in the field, and also consider wider societal aspects and issues.

Capstone course: a student-led project providing you with an opportunity to integrate and apply your previous learning to a real-world problem.
