Bachelor of Science (Biomolecular Physics)

Understand the machinery of human cells and how diseases work when you study biomolecular physics at UOW. You will build skills in developing molecular diagnostic instrumentation for government and institutional research laboratories. Work closely with other scientists as you develop a better understanding of diseases and improve treatment, diagnosis and recovery for a range of medical conditions. You will learn how to develop new methods and technology to assist with better food processing and preservation as you challenge your aptitude for physics and mathematics and grow your interest in biology and chemistry.

UOW collaborates widely with Australian and international 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.

All degrees include a major practical component to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures, and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare for real-world activities in your future careers. You will learn from academics that are internationally recognised in many fields of physics research including medical radiation physics, solid state physics, photonics and education.
