Humanity's comprehension of the Universe's workings has expanded dramatically in recent years, yet physics enthusiasts are often most intrigued by the mysteries that remain unsolved. Our scientists are pioneering breakthroughs in areas including gravitational wave research, quantum computing, and particle physics, utilizing cutting-edge facilities like the Large Hadron Collider, LIGO gravitational wave observatory, Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope, and the Australian Synchrotron. Tackling profound questions requires collaborative efforts, and you'll become part of our research teams specializing in astrophysics, theoretical particle physics, or experimental particle physics, partnering with global experts to address today's most pressing scientific inquiries.
Professional opportunities
Pursuing a Master of Science (Physics) can launch an impactful research career in physics or related disciplines like atmospheric science, data science, or computer engineering.
Alternatively, you might apply your refined analytical abilities and innovative problem-solving approaches to sectors such as corporate, public policy, or academic instruction.
To be considered for entry into this course, you must have: An undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a directly related discipline with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65% (or equivalent) in the best 50 points of appropriate discipline studies at third year, AND Quantum mechanics studies at both second- and third-year university level. Studies in electrodynamics and statistical physics at third-year level is also recommended. Appropriate discipline studies may include Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Chemical Physics?(or equivalents)..
