Bachelor of Science majoring in Theoretical Physics
Physics is the study of matter, energy and the fundamental forces of nature that decide the behaviour of the universe.
In our Bachelor of Science majoring in Theoretical Physics you’ll learn how to use mathematical models to explore new and developing physical theories. Focus on understanding theories like quantum mechanics and general relativity and how they contribute to our lives.
Discover the fundamental principles of physics and understand the way atoms and molecules contribute to our evolution. Tailor your studies to further areas of interest, gaining hands-on laboratory experience in experimental physics.
Rationalise, predict and explain natural physics phenomena. Learn about the hidden realities of our universe, exploring concepts beyond what can be directly observed or tested experimentally.

Job Opportunity Potential
You might work in government or private research laboratories, exploring theoretical concepts and collaborating with experimental physicists on interdisciplinary projects. Perhaps you’ll use mathematical models to develop trading strategies and analyse financial markets for finance organisations. You might even conduct theoretical research at universities or research institutions, publishing findings in scientific journals and contributing to the field of physics.
You can pursue roles such as:
- Scientist
- Researcher
- Research scientist
- Theoretical astrophysicist.
Your expertise could set you up to work in scientific computing, telecommunications, space and astronomy programs, forensic science, defence, health and environmental industries, medical physics and data science applications.
