COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science (EIS) with a major in Physics is a 144 credit point undergraduate degree designed to provide students with an advanced and research-focused education in physics. The program combines a strong foundation in core science subjects with specialised physics study, allowing students to build both theoretical understanding and practical scientific skills. In the first year, students complete an enabling pathway that develops essential knowledge in physics and mathematics, ensuring they are prepared for more advanced study. In the second year, students progress to intermediate-level physics subjects where they deepen their understanding of fundamental physical principles and begin applying mathematical tools to real-world problems. In the third year, students undertake advanced physics study and engage in more specialised topics, often including research-based learning and applied scientific projects. The curriculum is supported by common core science subjects that develop essential skills in mathematics, experimentation, and scientific analysis. The Physics major covers key areas such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, optics, waves, and astronomy, along with strong mathematical integration. The EIS structure provides an enriched and flexible learning environment that encourages deeper academic engagement and research involvement. Overall, this degree prepares graduates for careers in scientific research, technology, education, engineering, and data-related industries, as well as pathways to honours and postgraduate study in physics and related fields.
