What will I learn?

Science holds the key to many of the challenges – pandemics, climate change, antibiotic resistance – that threaten the world today. With the UTS Bachelor of Science, students can take their place at the forefront of a profession with the power to build resilience in both humanity and the planet.

This flagship degree has been designed with flexibility in mind: with eight majors to choose from and extensive elective blocks on offer, students can build a degree that’s uniquely theirs. In their first year, they gain access to the ‘scientist’s toolkit’, a series of core subjects designed to help them critically analyse the ways in which science can help solve global problems.

From there, they can dive into specialist science subjects in their chosen major, working in world-class facilities and on industry-standard equipment. Our practice-based learning approach means students learn by doing, translating scientific theory into real-world practice. But they don’t just do it in the classroom: extensive professional experiences, from internships and field trips to global exchange placements, help bring their learning to life.

Science is about more than just what happens in the lab. UTS science students pair the study of hard science with the development of crucial professional skills – inquiry, reflection, innovation and communication – that prepare them for a diverse and thriving career.

Physics: The Physics major is focused on the fundamental phenomena that make up the universe. With an emphasis on materials and fabrication, this major introduces students to the theories that underpin transformational technologies like optical fibre and satellite communications, solar energy, battery technology, green energy and more. Students can tailor their qualification with a choice of three sub-major in Mathematics, Chemistry or Engineering and work on real-world research projects in professional science laboratories, including the world-standard Microstructural Analysis Unit.

Careers

Physics: Graduates can apply their technical and modelling skills across a diverse range of sectors, including R&D, instrumentation, finance, IT, health and education. They can work as physicists, material engineers or scientists, research scientists, quantum application specialists, data scientists, opto-mechanical researchers, ultra-cold atom scientists, nanofabrication engineers or semiconductor engineers, among others.
