Griffith offers a number of innovative programs in the area of physics, photonics and nanoscience. Griffith University is the only university in Australia where you can study photonics and nanoscience in an interdisciplinary setting. Our Bachelor of Photonics and Nanoscience is designed to produce graduates with the fundamental knowledge, specialised skills and experimental experience necessary for a variety of careers in these burgeoning areas.
Physics can be studied as a major in our Bachelor of Science program. This is the degree of choice – your choice to study the science you want. It embodies choice and flexibility and provides pathways to a wide and diverse range of rewarding careers.
We also offer Advanced and Accelerated programs. The first degree of its kind in Australia, the Bachelor of Science (Accelerated with Honours) allows highly motivated students to complete an Honours degree in three years (instead of four). This program gives students a head start on their career path in Physics.
The Bachelor of Science (Advanced with Honours) is a challenging program which enables high achieving students to undertake fascinating extensions to their studies by working directly with academic staff members. Students select one course per semester for advanced study and, under the guidance of an academic staff member, undertake further work in that area. The title of the degree highlights that you are trained as a highly qualified physicist.
Research higher degrees at Masters and Doctoral level are also available for suitably qualified candidates.
