物理学是基础科学之一，涉及解决人类始终感兴趣的重大问题：我们来自哪里，去向何方。物理学包括对最基本的自然定律的研究，其目的是解释事物的工作方式和原因，以及从次核到整个宇宙的规模。物理学家探索并确定了控制物质结构和行为，能量产生和转移以及物质与能量相互作用的基本原理。物理学家在时间或宇宙起源等主题的理论或实验研究中使用这些原理，其他人则将其物理学知识应用于实际领域，开发先进的材料，电子和光学设备以及广泛领域的设备例如医学，采矿，天文学和地球物理学。
The Bachelor of Science is a versatile degree that provides students with the optimal balance between a defined sequence of study and flexible course options. This innovative program has been redesigned to develop graduates with the key practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge required to address today's global challenges. Students will study an extensive range of courses underpinned by cutting edge research and develop high levels of personal initiative, independent thinking and communication skills. Graduates will be qualified for employment opportunities in a wide array of science and non-science industries. Develop scientific knowledge and key skills with this flexible program, which gives you the freedom to find or follow your scientific passion to pursue your career goals. Explore and challenge your scientific thinking in this popular program, which offers one of the broadest selections of science disciplines in Australia. Our extensive range of specialist fields enables you to develop your interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and practical skills, while pursuing studies that suit your interests and ambitions. You also have the option to combine your scientific expertise with skills from a broad range of study areas, including languages, communication and design, to broaden your skill set or follow your interests beyond science. Some majors offer fieldwork opportunities in locations such as the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, national parks and outback Queensland. Plus you'll have the chance to gain relevant, real-world experience through employability and work-integrated learning such as internships, industry placements, research projects and international study. <br><br>Physics embraces the study of the most basic natural laws and is about explaining how and why things work on scales ranging from the sub-nuclear to the entire cosmos. Physicists explore and identify basic principles governing the structure and behaviour of matter, the generation and transfer of energy, and the interaction of matter and energy. Physicists use these principles in theoretical or experimental studies on topics such as the nature of time and the origin of the Universe, others apply their physics knowledge to practical areas, developing advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and equipment for a wide range of fields such as medicine, mining, astronomy and geophysics.
