Which of the world's problems would you like to solve? The Bachelor of Science from Charles Sturt University prepares you for a rewarding career helping to advance Australian and international scientific knowledge and develop solutions to some of the complex problems facing society.

Physics is a part of, well, almost everything. You could investigate tiny subatomic particles, or the entire universe. You could propose theories, then explore them. Or develop new products that could make a difference to medicine, the military, or industry. Or change the way we see the world. Studying physics allows you to explore areas as diverse as astronomy, climatology, electrodynamics, nanotechnology, quantum mechanics and relativity. Then take your knowledge into a wide range of fields, like aviation, chemistry, computing, cosmology, dentistry, engineering, geology, medicine, radiography, or even finance. With physics you can do, well, almost anything.

Flexible study options

Choose the mode of study that suits you, whether full-time, part-time, online or on campus. If you’ve completed prior study, you may be eligible for credit to reduce the length and cost of your course.
