Career Opportunities

An honours degree provides the opportunity to continue undergraduate studies at a higher level, specialising in a particular area of interest.  An honours degree is a rigorous and scholarly program of further study, which develops a student's ability to generate new knowledge and distill new ideas out of existing knowledge.  Candidates with honours are particularly sought after by employers and can choose from more interesting research and development positions because of their extra skills and proven abilities.  It can also provide a pathway to research higher degree study.  Completing an honours degree involves an additional full-time year of study (or the equivalent) following completion of a bachelor program, or alternatively additional study with a research element included in the final year or years of a bachelor program.

About Applied Physics

Scientists study natural phenomena of every imaginable sort - from the physical to the biological to the social.  Science studies at CQU include biological sciences, chemical sciences, biotechnology, marine ecology, mathematics and physics.

Physics underpins all technology, although it is a career that is not commonly recognised.  Physics is the science of matter and processes, the interaction of the physical world and the universe.

If you're interested in the fundamental questions of life, and in using your knowledge to make sure the quality of our environment is improved and our lives safe and healthy, a degree in science may be for you.
