Honours programs consist of advanced lecture subjects and project work. Students normally undertake two separate projects during the year, in different research areas. All students take subjects in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, solid state physics and electromagnetism and the standard model. Additional subjects are chosen from topics such as astronomy, molecular physics, condensed matter physics and quantum field theory.

Note: For the combined Physics/Geology honours see entry under course code BSSM4103. Admission to the honours program is at the invitation of the Head of School and normally requires at least a credit average in Year 3.
