BSc(Hons)(Curtin)

Introduction


This course extends knowledge of current academic research methodology as it is applied in the field of physics and to demonstrate this through the conduct of a supervised research project and preparation of an honours dissertation.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites


Refer to Admission into Honours Degree Programs (General Information section).

Duration and Availability


The honours degree program is one year full-time or equivalent part-time study. Two intakes are offered each year, in March and August. Prospective students should note that places may not always be available for the August intake.
