Overview / Course Aims
This double degree provides students with a deeper understanding of the complementary areas of mathematics and physics. As well as making them eligible for employment in areas requiring qualifications in both mathematics and physics, this will particularly equip students for work in areas where they will undertake mathematical modelling of physical systems.
Course Requirements
All students must complete the required number of credit points and satisfy all course requirements for the Bachelor of Science (Physics) degree and the Bachelor of Mathematics. Refer to course structures below.
All students must take particular notice of the Course Rules regarding minimum rate of progress.
The formal contact hours, methods of teaching and learning and forms of assessment vary from subject to subject. Details will be provided to students at the commencement of each subject by the subject coordinator. Students should attend all classes including lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes.
Honours
Students with a good academic record are encouraged to proceed to an Honours year. An additional year of study providing training in independent research in either discipline would be required.
Further Studies Options
Graduates can apply for entry to Honours in Physics, then Master of Science - Research, or PhD.
Career Opportunities
Opportunities exist in teaching, administration, scientific communication, computing, and research.
