Students will cultivate an advanced set of research, analytical, and problem-solving abilities that are highly sought after by both industry and government sectors. The Master of Physics program offers specialization in these key areas: Astronomy and Astrophysics (covering astronomical techniques, statistical methods for astronomy, galactic dynamics, compact celestial objects, astrophysical shock phenomena, plasma physics in space, space electrodynamics, and high-energy astrophysics); Computational Physics (focusing on numerical analysis, high-performance computing, GPU programming, and computational physics methodologies); Experimental Physics (emphasizing data interpretation and experimental physics techniques); Medical Physics (training in system commissioning, calibration, safe operation, and maintenance of medical diagnostic and treatment equipment); Theoretical Physics (providing cutting-edge knowledge at the forefront of physics research); and Quantum Technology and Computing (delivering fundamental and advanced quantum theory, experimental methods, practical applications, along with computational principles and programming expertise).
To be considered for admission to this course an applicant must have—
(a)(i) a bachelor's degree in physics, or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA; and
(ii) the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 65 per cent;
or
(b) an honours degree in physics, or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA.
