Overview

The Postgraduate Diploma program in Physics is designed to allow students to further their study of physics on a broad front, provide a pathway for entry into graduate study in Physics, and to engage students in their own research by participation in the activities of a research group in the School of Physics (coursework+research option). Prior study in Physics to at least 2nd year university level is assumed.

Intended learning outcomes

  • increase students' knowledge of physics on a broad front and to a professional level;
  • analyse how to solve a problem by applying simple fundamental laws to more complicated situations;
  • develop independent and critical thinking skills.
