Bachelor of Science majoring in Theoretical Physics

Adelaide University

Explore the mysterious and invisible elements making up the universe’s mass and energy. Use theoretical concepts to study the origin, evolution and eventual fate of the universe. Discover the branch of physics that uses mathematical models to predict how the physical world works. Think about ideas and concepts to explain natural phenomena, the nature of forces and the structure of the universe. Learn about natural phenomena including gravity, dark matter and new physical laws in our Bachelor of Science majoring in Theoretical Physics. Predict the behaviour of physical systems in collaborative laboratories with world-class researchers in their field. Develop the deep-thinking skills needed to explain our universe at both the macro and micro levels, preparing you for an exciting career in physics. Physics is the study of matter, energy and the fundamental forces of nature that decide the behaviour of the universe. In our Bachelor of Science majoring in Theoretical Physics you’ll learn how to use mathematical models to explore new and developing physical theories. Focus on understanding theories like quantum mechanics and general relativity and how they contribute to our lives. Discover the fundamental principles of physics and understand the way atoms and molecules contribute to our evolution. Tailor your studies to further areas of interest, gaining hands-on laboratory experience in experimental physics. Rationalise, predict and explain natural physics phenomena. Learn about the hidden realities of our universe, exploring concepts beyond what can be directly observed or tested experimentally.
