Physics plays a part in all aspects of our lives, from the technology we use to the ideas for our future. The concepts learnt in physics are used in most sciences and in many parts of engineering. Physicists design and analyse experiments and construct models of the physical world in order to make predictions about the behaviour of physical systems. Students anticipating studying physics at fourth year level and beyond would normally be expected to complete 24 units of Group B Physics courses and at least 24 units of Group C Physics courses.

Requirements

This major will consist of a minimum of 42 units of courses offered by the Department of Physics including:

(a) PHYS1101* Advanced Physics I and PHYS1201* Advanced Physics II
(b) One of PHYS2013 or PHYS2016, and one of PHYS2017 or PHYS2020
(c) 18 units of Group C courses in Physics

*Mathematics corequisites required

First Year course advice

Students must take PHYS1101, PHYS1201, MATH1013/1115 and MATH1014/1116.
