Bachelor of Science in High Performance Computational Physics (Honours)

Course Details

Love calculations, formulas and data-enabled science? Want to solve cutting-edge problems at the forefront of physics? Computational physics is a rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary research area. High-performance computations are an essential part of modern research in particle physics, condensed-matter physics, astrophysics, fluid mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum chromodynamics, and plasma physics. This program is accredited by the Australian Institute of Physics.

Qualification: Bachelor Degree (Honours)

Course structure: Level 1 consists of core courses in physics, mathematics and computing science, with an option for students to broaden their studies in areas such as electrical engineering or chemistry..; .; At level 2, students further develop in the core areas of study, with a focus on physics and applied mathematics. Level 3 involves advanced courses in physics and computational physics. Students undertake the final year honours program in theoretical or computational physics, which includes a research project and the option of specialised courses in computer science and mathematics. This enables students to apply their high-performance computing skills to modern physics problems.
