Honours Coursework
Physics Honours
In semester one there are two compulsory courses, each worth two units. These arePHYS6041 - Advanced Quantum Theory
PHYS6030 - Advanced Electromagnetic Theory
PHYS6030 - Advanced Electromagnetic Theory
In the second semester you must choose two out of four courses. There are different offerings in odd and even years; however, you should note that you can take these courses as part of your undergraduate degree as well.
Odd years
PHYS4030 - Condensed Matter Physics:
Electronic Properties of crystals
PHYS4072 - Techniques of Experimental Physics & Data Analysis
MATH3103 - Algebraic Methods in Mathematical Physics
MATH4104 - Advanced Hamiltonian Dynamics and Chaos
PHYS4072 - Techniques of Experimental Physics & Data Analysis
MATH3103 - Algebraic Methods in Mathematical Physics
MATH4104 - Advanced Hamiltonian Dynamics and Chaos
Even years
PHYS4060 - Laser Physics &
Atom-Light
Interactions
PHYS4070 - Advanced Computational Physics
PHYS4090 - Quantum Optics & Stochastic Processes
MATH4105 - General Relativity
PHYS4070 - Advanced Computational Physics
PHYS4090 - Quantum Optics & Stochastic Processes
