Deepen your understanding of how and why things work.
Led by internationally recognised researchers, you’ll study the laws of physics and explore how these principles are applied in our everyday lives – from understanding the nature of time to developing new technologies.
You'll combine your scientific and mathematical knowledge with skills in computer programming and statistics to understand theories relating to quantum mechanics, biophotonics, astronomy or astrophysics. Or you can apply your knowledge to develop advanced materials, electronic and optical devices.
Your high-level technical, analytical and problem-solving skills will lead you to a wide range of rewarding opportunities in sectors such as education, finance, engineering, computing and management.
Alternatively, continue to a higher degree by research to kickstart your career in research and uncover new scientific knowledge or develop new devices, products or processes.
