Bachelor of Applied Physics (Co-op)/Diploma of Professional Practice (Physics)

The study of physics is concerned with the observation, understanding and prediction of natural phenomena and the behaviour of man made systems. It deals with profound questions about the nature of the universe and with some of the most important practical, environmental and technological issues of our time. Its scope is broad and involves mathematics and theory, experiment and observations, computing, technology, materials and information theory. The applied physicist is expected to have a sound grounding in the principles of physics, to be able to apply their knowledge in the modelling analysis and solution of problems in the real world and to bale to communicate the results of their work to a wider audience. This program provides cooperative learning during the work placements and through the Diploma of Professional Practice, the professional preparation for work practice.
