COURSE CURRICULUM

The Physics major consists of 120 credit points within the Bachelor of Science program and provides students with a strong foundation in the principles, theories and applications of physics. The major is structured across three levels of study, allowing students to develop essential knowledge in fundamental physics before progressing to more advanced topics and specialised areas. Students explore concepts related to matter, energy, motion, forces, waves, fields and the interactions that shape the physical world. The course structure combines mathematical analysis, theoretical understanding and practical laboratory experiences to develop strong scientific reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Students gain skills in experimentation, data collection, modelling and interpretation, enabling them to investigate complex physical systems and apply scientific methods to real-world challenges. The major also introduces students to areas such as materials science, optical physics and modern technological applications. Through research-informed learning and practical activities, students develop the ability to analyse problems, design solutions and communicate scientific findings effectively. Graduates of the Physics major are prepared for careers in research, technology, engineering, education, data analysis and scientific industries. The major provides a versatile foundation for further study and professional opportunities in fields driven by innovation and scientific discovery.
