About

Highlights

Make a difference and help find solutions to current and future challenges facing our world.
Explore the broader principles of physics, mathematical methods and research.
Apply your theoretical knowledge in our laboratories.
Learn in our new multimillion dollar research and teaching facilities.
Apply for the Vacation Research Experience Scheme and work on a current research project.
Prepare yourself for a career in research and development in companies across the industries.
Graduates are eligible for membership in the Australian Institute of Physics.
Study our new Climate Science minor to develop an in-depth understanding of climate change, alternative energy technologies, Earth's natural global change, marine environments, cloud formation, and much more.

The course has a strong applied emphasis so you will spend a significant amount of time in the undergraduate teaching laboratories. In each unit the theory will be supported by experimental work and in your final year, you will undertake research and gain exposure to the research laboratories through the experimental physics unit.

You can also apply for the Vacation Research Experience Scheme to gain experience working on a research project. Many of the lecturers at QUT have worked in industry and QUT works closely with industry through consultancy and research projects, so you can be sure that the course will be up to date and relevant to the real world.

Career

Careers and outcomes

Physicists are an asset to almost any industry. Employment areas of QUT physics graduates are very wide ranging. These include research and development departments of large manufacturing companies, mining and exploration companies, research institutions such as the CSIRO and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, government bodies such as the Bureau of Meteorology, environmental protection agencies and health departments, schools, universities and hospitals.

Broad training in data analysis and problem-solving skills also makes physicists well suited to management and consulting roles in a range of technology-based industries.
