On successful completion of a major or minor in Physics, students will be able to:

 Learning outcome
1Exhibit a broad understanding of foundation concepts in physics and the mathematical skills necessary to formalise these concepts
2Explain how physical theories are formulated and tested, and how they are used to explain and interpret observations
3Explain the role and relevance of physics to society and describe its role in the development and application of technology
4Investigate and solve physics problems using experimental, computational, and theoretical tools and techniques
5Evaluate experimental or computational data in physics, including uncertainties, and use the results to draw conclusions
6Communicate physics to a variety of audiences through a range of modes using evidence-based arguments, and evaluate arguments presented by others
7Source, collect, synthesise and critically evaluate information on issues in physics from a range of relevant sources
8Identify how fundamental physics concepts are applicable in different contexts and apply physics knowledge and techniques to solve problems outside the discipline
9Design, plan and conduct a physics experiment or project
10Address authentic problems in physics, working professionally, responsibly and ethically and with consideration of cross-cultural perspectives, within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
