Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Physics)

The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Physics) degree provides you with the first real opportunity to undertake research on a topic of your interest.

Physics at UOW teaches you highly transferable skills that enable analysis and optimisation across many industries. You’ll learn problem-solving, critical-thinking and analytical skills that are in demand across all government and private sectors.

In the final honours year, you will undertake a substantial piece of supervised research in your major discipline, together with other required seminars and/or coursework. The honours year is particularly important as it represents a gateway to future research opportunities, both in the form of higher research degrees and as a career in research, or to other vocations that require advanced analytical and research skills.

The University of Wollongong collaborates widely with Australian and international atmospheric science communities including other universities, CSIRO, ANSTO, the Bureau of Meteorology, federal and state government departments and international networks. When you study at UOW you join a vibrant community made up of leading fundamental physics and medical radiation physics researchers and teachers.

You'll be part of the highly regarded UOW School of Physics that is ranked 'above world standard performance' by Excellence in Research for Australia in Condensed Matter Physics and Medical Radiation Physics.

The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Physics) is a program for high achieving students, designed to provide an enriched educational experience, and to encourage you to continue on to further studies and research. Benefits of this program include the opportunity to apply for the Summer Scholarship program where you are employed as a paid research assistant, access to a wider range of subjects, and an annual study grant. You will need to maintain a weighted average mark of 80 throughout this program.
