Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00114A
This degree builds on the existing physics, research knowledge and professional skills of students to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories in the systematic development of solutions to complex problems.
Structure
Students complete a selection of core (compulsory) topics, option topics and a research project. These topics aim to provide students an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and an awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of mathematics in a global community.The research component of the degree provides students the opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation of a particular area under the guidance of a supervisor. The research components can focus on professional studies including nuclear and quantum physics and standards, ethics and compliance, in addition to the core topics students can choose option topics including partial differential equations, methods of applied mathematics and complex analysis.
