| Description | Bachelor of Science in Physics and Biology (Combined Honours) What happened to anti-matter after the big bang? What is the origin of mass in the universe? What are the fusion nuclear reactions in the core of the sun? What gives a particular material super-conducting properties? Physics is the study of the most basic building blocks of matter, from the smallest particles to the largest structures of the universe, from the beginning to the end. Engage in subatomic and medical physics. Our Applied Physics (Honours) program combines studies in modern physics, optics and electronics, mathematics and computer science. Many of the challenges society faces, from the development of novel health therapies and diagnostics to climate change and conservation, involve biological solutions. You will have extensive opportunities to learn in lab-based environments. Your career: advanced studies in specialized physics (particle physics, medical physics and astrophysics); applied research and development of new technologies in physical sciences; data science applications to artificial intelligence, finance, social media; employment in industry; health care (medical imaging and radiotherapy); instrumentation in natural resource industries; nuclear and sustainable energy industries; science journalism; scientific policymaking; teaching | | |
