About the course
This first-year Physics stream groups related physics units that can be taken within selected Curtin undergraduate degrees. It provides foundational physics study to support later specialisation and helps you build the background needed for further science-based study pathways. You enrol in the stream through an eligible degree rather than applying to the stream as a standalone course. This is an undergraduate sciences stream. The programme develops laboratory techniques, scientific writing, and analytical methods for research and industry settings.
Career outcome
Completing this physics first-year stream strengthens core physics knowledge and quantitative skills that can support further study in physics and other science disciplines. It can help prepare you for later majors and pathways leading to roles in scientific and technical environments, including laboratory, analysis and research-adjacent work. Career outcomes depend on the degree you choose and subsequent specialisation. This is an undergraduate sciences stream. Preparing graduates for laboratory technician, research assistant, and science-based industry entry roles.
