No.Learning outcomes
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.
