Applied Physics cultivates your natural curiosity and creativity to solve the technological problems presented by modern and future industries. Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences and is concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. Applied physics on the other hand involves the application of the methods and principles of physics to help human beings, usually in an industrial context, to solve their technological problems. Our approach to assessment embraces a wide range of formats over the full term of your degree. This ensures that students develop the essential transferable skills required by industry. Our methods include: Examinations; Extended Assignments; Weekly Problems; Formal Reports; Practical Laboratory Work; in class presentations as individuals and/or groups; and Practical Research Methods.  As a graduate Applied Physicist, you will find a host of exciting career options opens to you in many employment sectors where creative problem-solvers and trouble shooters are in high demand. Tech-driven industries such as Defence, Telecommunications, Computing, Medicine and Energy are obvious career destinations where a diverse physics education can be exploited readily.
