About the course
The Applied Physics Specialisation is an undergraduate specialisation made up of four units that you take alongside an eligible degree. It develops skills in data processing and analysis to support practical applied physics work, with emphasis on instrument development and deployment. The content is oriented to real-world monitoring applications, including atmospheric and oceanographic environmental measurement, within a Bachelor-level science pathway. The programme develops laboratory techniques, scientific writing, and analytical methods for research and industry settings.
Career outcome
This specialisation can support careers where applied physics and advanced data analysis are used to design, deploy and interpret measurements from scientific instruments. Graduates may work in environmental and earth observation contexts, including atmospheric and oceanographic monitoring, instrumentation and sensor deployment, and technical roles supporting research and field operations. It strengthens Bachelor-level preparation for applied physics roles across government, industry and research settings.
