惠靈頓維多利亞大學

Explore the wonder of science: As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Victoria, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas, and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. With a strong practical focus, a BSc will take you far beyond the lecture theatre. Apply your curiosity to the many laboratories, field trips, and summer scholar opportunities offered within this degree.

This major focuses on how physics concepts and techniques can be used in technology - work with equipment like lasers and semiconductors and delve into areas like nanoscience and quantum optics. You'll have the flexibility to focus on related areas that interest you, so you might combine Applied Physics with Chemistry, Computer Science, Geophysics, Architecture or Teaching.
