Bachelor of Science (Laser Physics and Technology)

The program consists of core theory and laboratory training in physics, with emphasis on electromagnetic radiation, optics, quantum mechanics and lasers.
Students are able to supplement their core studies with a range of courses including mathematics, computing and electrical engineering.
A key feature of the program is the inclusion of cross-disciplinary tutorials from academic staff as well as tutoring sessions by guest presenters from photonics and defence industries.
This direct exposure provides the opportunity for mentoring relationships to be formed, which enhances student participation in research projects alongside scientists who are well established in industry and physics discipline laboratories.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.
