About Applied Physics
CQUniversity's Bachelor of Applied Physics is designed for those who want to understand the fundamental questions of life, the universe and everything, and in using such knowledge to make sure the quality of our environment is improved and our lives safe and healthy.
The program is designed to produce graduates who are well qualified to succeed in the changing employment scene. Graduates may be employed in fields as diverse as acoustics consulting, biophysics research, electro-optics, materials research, environmental monitoring, computing technology, geophysical exploration and secondary teaching.
The program includes in-depth studies in physics, including courses that introduce students to problems and applications in research and industry, as well as individual research projects of an applied nature in which students solve real problems and compile evidence of practical competence to show prospective employers.
The skills of the applied physicists in investigating, modelling and analysing the problems of the real work are one of the corner stones of modern society, You will learn the languages and concepts that today's complex technological society demands.
