This plan is for a Graduate Diploma in physics (Research).

The Graduate Diploma in Physics offeres an advanced trainig program for graduates from overseas universities who wich to obtain specialised training in Physics. The program is also available to graduates from Australian universities who have not done an Honours program and who wish to pursue postgraduate study in Physics. Students qualified to enrol in Honours would be expected to do so rather than to enrol in this GradDip program. For suitably qualified students, the expectation is that the program would allow entrance to a higher degree research program provided suitable supervision and facilities were available.

The GradDip in Physics by Research will be offered with program work and research project requirements similar to Level IV Physics, with substitutions if required to be approved by the School Postgraduate Coordinator.

The program involves two sessions full-time study or four sessions part-time study comprising a total of 24 UOC, plus a single research project over the whole period of study (total 24 UOC). All students normally take programs in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and solid state physics. Other lecture programs and the research projects are offered in general areas of physics including astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics and theoretical physics.
