Physics is the fundamental science that underpins research and development in the areas of microelectronics, opto-electronics and photonics, materials science and engineering. These fields are at the forefront of ECU's areas of research strength in Engineering and ICT (Communications, Information and Microelectronic Technologies). This program allows the integration and participation of highly specialised Physics-trained students in the research programs of the University, and generates highly-skilled graduates to fulfil the future needs of Australian industry, academia and government. The Honours course consists of a fourth research-based year after students have completed a Bachelor of Science degree in either Physics or Physical Sciences.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
All applicants are required to be completing a Bachelor of Science with a course average of 70 per cent or better.
Portfolio pathway applications are not accepted for this course.
