In first semester of second year, Physics major students should enrol in Quantum Mechanics II, Electromagnetism II, Physical Mathematics IIA, Physical Mathematics IIB and Linear Algebra. Many students take Structured Computing to make up the remaining 10 CP as this leaves open the opportunity for a double Major in Physics and Physical Mathematics. Another worthwhile option for Physics students is Introductory Electronics. The University also offers a Minor in Physics . This is useful for students undertaking a Major in some other area such as Physical Mathematics or Chemistry.
Degree is designed to provide students of outstanding ability with a level of advanced study.
Students will complete all of the requirements of a Bachelor of Science course but will be assigned additional tasks and project work throughout the three year period. This additional work, performed under the mentorship of a member of the Academic Staff , has been designed so that the students develop exceptional understanding within a theme area of Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematics, Biological Sciences or Science, Technology and Society. The Bachelor of Photonics and Nanoscience Download PDF brochure The Bachelor of Photonics and Nanoscience is a new degree which will be offered for the first time in 2002. This is a four year full time programme, with an embedded Honours. The degree is designed to produce graduates with the fundamental knowledge, specialised skills and experimental experience for a variety of careers in the burgeoning areas of photonics and nanoscience.
