The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Physics) degree is for high-achieving students interested in a challenging program leading to a career in scientific research. The UOW Honours website provides lots of useful information regarding research opportunities, scholarships, and application procedures.

This degree

The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Physics) degree provides you with the first real opportunity to undertake research on a topic of your interest. In the final Honours year, you will undertake a substantial piece of supervised research in your major discipline, together with other required seminars and/or coursework. The Honours year is particularly important as it represents a gateway to future research opportunities, both in the form of higher research degrees and as a career in research, or to other vocations that require advanced analytical and research skills.

What you will study

The Bachelor of Science Advanced Honours (Physics) offers a greater degree of flexibility in program design providing an opportunity to undertake individual research subjects at 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year levels. You are also able to participate in various enrichment activities and develop a close association with an appropriate member of one of the Faculty’s research teams.

Why choose this course

When you study at UOW you join a vibrant community made up of leading fundamental physics and medical radiation physics researchers and teachers.

You’ll be part of the highly regarded UOW School of Physics, one that is ranked “above world standard performance” by Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) in Condensed Matter Physics and Medical Radiation Physics.
