What will I learn?
A Bachelor of Science (BSc) is about understanding and improving the natural world through observation, experimentation, modelling, and calculation. You will investigate the big issues confronting New Zealand and our planet, including climate change, human health and diseases, the global water crisis, food security, and environmental protection. A BSc will expose you to new ideas and technologies, develop your research skills, and help you make a contribution to the challenges facing our world. Study Involve: Learn from a wide network of field stations reaching from Antarctica to Nigeria and throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. ‘Do science’ right from the first semester of your first year. We have access to the most field stations of any New Zealand university and offer a range of practical experiences, research projects, and lab and fieldwork. Global study experiences, including exchanges to partner universities. You can choose to take a minor in Science, or from additional subjects in Arts, Commerce, Digital Screen, Health, Product Design, Sport, or Youth and Community Leadership. Physics explores the behaviour between matter and energy - from subatomic particles to the scale of the universe. Technology and physics go hand-in-hand, and they improve our lives massively. From computers, architecture to agriculture, modern life is built using the understanding of physics. Studying this field will prepare you to contribute to major advances in technology now and in the future. Study Involve: Lab experiments, fieldwork, and computing skills in our state-of-the-art facilities including a nano lab, super conduction magnet lab, cloud chamber, and cryogenics lab. UC has contributed much to the field with alumnus like Ernest Rutherford and Beatrice Tinsley, with current research including Medical Physics, Nanotechnology, and Cosmology.
