本课程涵盖了空间物理学，X射线科学以及表面和材料科学的研究领域。我们的目标是为您提供在物理领域的经验和能力，在这些领域中，实验工作与实验室或环境/野外有很大的不同。在第一年，您将完成八个核心科目。在第二年中，您将需要完成另外四个核心主题，从事实际的统计咨询项目并撰写次要论文。如果您在第一年的所有科目中平均取得了65％的成绩，并且表现出了出色的研究能力，则可以邀请您加入荣誉课程。在荣誉课程中，作为第二年的一部分，您将获得60个学分的硕士学位研究论文（约18 000字），以及60个学分的课程主题。从荣誉流毕业
This course covers the research areas of space physics, x-ray science and surface and materials science. We aim to equip you with experience and competence in areas of physics where experimental work is vastly different, being either laboratory- or environment/field-based. During first year, you will complete eight core subjects. During second year, you will be required to complete another four core subjects, engage in a practical statistical consulting project and write a minor thesis. If you achieve an average of 65 per cent in all subjects in first year, and demonstrate an aptitude for research, you may be invited to join the Honours stream. In the Honours stream, you will undertake a 60 credit-point Master's research thesis (approximately 18 000 words) along with a further 60 creditpoints of coursework subjects as a part of second year. Graduation from the Honours stream fulfils the requirements for entry into a PhD in a relevant discipline area at La Trobe University.
