Theme areas Concepts from physics underpin most of the physical sciences and engineering, and are growing in importance in the biological and health sciences. The first-year unit KYA171 Applied Physics gives a basis for understanding ideas in agriculture and mining, for example, and relates to the National and State Development theme area. Second and third-year physics units provide essential background for the physical science aspects of atmospheric and oceanic modelling work undertaken in the theme area of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies. A more detailed study of fluid mechanics is given in the unit KYA315 Fluid Mechanics, and this material underpins the study of meteorology and oceanography. Fourth Year Honours in Physics Admission to Honours depends on satisfactory performance in an approved course.
