Explore the endless possibilities of science with this degree as you can choose to study everything from astronomy to neuroscience. So whether your interests are broad or unique, the Bachelor of Science allows you to follow or find your passion. You’ll have the flexibility to explore all of your interests, tailoring a program to take you in whichever direction of science interests you most. And when you study at Australia's most reputable science university, you will gain access to state-of-the-art laboratories while being mentored by leading scientists. You'll also benefit from studying in Canberra, a science city which gives you unparalleled access to parliament, CSIRO, government departments, Geoscience Australia and many other national and international science organisations. Career Options Graduates from ANU have been rated as Australia's most employable graduates and among the most sought after by employers worldwide. The latest Global Employability University Ranking, published by the Times Higher Education, rated ANU as Australia's top university for getting a job for the fourth year in a row. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of a Bachelor of Science, graduates will be able to: develop, apply, integrate and generate scientific knowledge in educational and professional contexts; use a range of skills and methods to identify, analyse and respond to problems and issues; convey and relate professional and disciplinary information and ideas to diverse audiences in effective and appropriate ways; work and learn in both independent and collaborative ways with others to encompass diverse abilities and perspectives; exercise personal, professional and social responsibility as a global citizen. Optics The Optics specialization builds on majors in either Physics or Theoretical Physics to provide a deeper mastery of Optics. Learning Goals: Students who complete the Optics specialization will be able to: Describe and explain the fundamental principles of optics; apply the fundamental principles of optics to solve problems, including those likely to be encountered in future careers. Such problems may involve ambiguity and uncertainty and require the application of multiple principles; Describe and explain specific examples of how optics is applied to benefit people; Describe critical experiments in the history of optics and explain how they led to revisions of our theoretical descriptions of optics; Use mathematical, computational and experimental skills to solve conceptual and quantitative problems in optics; Analyze unfamiliar optical systems and provide order-of-magnitude estimates of quantities. This includes a knowledge of basic optical constants and key equations; be both creative and rigorous in the design and construction of scientific investigations of optical systems; effectively communicate optics based analyses to expert and non-expert audiences.
