Physics is fundamental to all natural sciences and plays a central role in the development of new technologies. Physics is a core discipline for all science and technology students. It challenges students to: explore the underlying principles of all physical phenomena develop skills in problem-solving, numerical analysis, good laboratory techniques, technical writing and oral communication. You'll explore basic questions about intrinsic laws of the universe, and learn how physics is applied to interdisciplinary fields. Physics at Macquarie University uses high-quality, innovative approaches to teaching, based on excellent research and strong links with other organisations and industry, both nationally and internationally.
