Master of Science - Physics

Our understanding of how the Universe works has grown rapidly in the past few decades, but if you are keen on physics, you are probably more excited by what we dont yet know. Our researchers are pushing the boundaries in fields like gravitational waves, quantum information and particle physics, and working with the worlds most advanced scientific instruments, including the Large Hadron Collider, the LIGO gravitational wave detector, the Murchison Widefield Array low frequency radio telescope and the Australian Synchrotron.
