Completion of 100 points:
- 50 points of study at level 3;
- 50 points of study at level 2 or above.
Subject Options
Subject prerequisites: 25 points of level 1 or above Physics and 25 points of level 1 or above Mathematics, or equivalents plus two of PHYC20005 Quantum Mechanics & Thermal Physics, PHYC20009 Thermal and Classical Physics, PHYC20010 Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity, PHYC20011 Electromagnetism and Optics, MAST20009 Vector Calculus or MAST20026 Real Analysis with Applications, or equivalents.
Level 2
Because of the nature of the pre-requisite structure for the level three subjects, students need to complete six level 2 subjects thus they will need to have completed at least two of the level 2 subjects listed below prior to admission.
