Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Mathematics and Physics (Double Honours)
Mathematical knowledge is critical to innovation across diverse fields and is applied in professions such as cryptography and security, economics, business and science. Built around a strong core of traditional mathematics, this program allows you to branch into many areas of modern mathematics and become skilled with a variety of applications.
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.
