COURSE DESCRIPTION
From the kinetic energy of a speeding car to nuclear fusion energy, from nearby stars to distant galaxies, physicists examine matter and energy in all their forms.
In this course, you will study real-world problems through observation, measurement and theoretical analysis. You’ll learn the core concepts of physics and gain experience using complex technical equipment.
You can specialise in one of four areas:
Applied Physics
Astrophysics
Materials Science
Mathematical Physics

• Environmental consultancy
• Manufacturing
Further study
• Bachelor of Science (Honours)
• Master of Science (Computer Science)
• Master of Philosophy
• Doctor of Philosophy
What you’ll learn
• Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in Physics that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of Physics, GC1
• Can apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to Phycis, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within Physics, GC2
REQUIREMENTS

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Curtin University is Western Australia’s largest and most culturally diverse university with Australia’s third largest international student population. Around 60,000 students from more than 130 countries study a Curtin degree, at locations including Perth, Margaret River, Kalgoorlie, Sydney, Malaysia and Singapore. Our cultural diversity adds a rich and valuable dimension to the campus atmosphere, preparing all graduates to live and work effectively in an increasingly global environment. We offer a range of industry-aligned undergraduate and postgraduate courses in business, humanities, health, engineering and related sciences. We also have a long-standing focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and culture, supported by our Centre for Aboriginal Studies.Curtin is widely recognised for its practical research that is focused on solving timely, real-world problems. In recent years our research activity has grown significantly, driving our rapid rise up the international university rankings.As a university that never settles, we will continue to develop existing partnerships and establish new ones in areas relevant to our research and teaching.
