Master of Science - Physics

Our two-year program comprises advanced coursework and a research project leading to a major thesis in: observational astronomy, computational astrophysics, experimental physics, computational or theoretical physics. Physicists use their knowledge and training in diverse careers including: macromolecular biology and drug design, medical imaging, synchrotron science, design of advanced materials, photonics, optoelectronics and lasers, climate modelling and meteorology, medical and scientific instrumentation, the energy industry, solar power, industrial product development, science teaching, and science communication. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Our graduates find employment in industry, hospitals and scientific organisations; recent examples include: Agilent, Optiscan, the Alfred Hospital, the Australian Synchrotron, the Australian Antarctic Division, CSIRO, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the EPA, and many other organisations. Many of our Master’s graduates proceed to further study, enrolling in a research Doctorate.
