Common Questions
Honours students in Physics at the University of Tasmania have access to research facilities including the 50cm and 1.3m optical telescopes at the University's Greenhill Observatory north of Hobart, and can undertake original thesis research on under-studied astronomical objects and phenomena.
Because of its location in the southern hemisphere, the University of Tasmania and its Greenhill Observatory can observe star systems located very close to the south celestial pole — such as OY Carinae — that are impossible to observe from most of the northern hemisphere, giving Tasmanian researchers a unique scientific advantage.
Yes, Honours students can continue their research into a PhD. For example, student Morgan Febey plans to make her Honours thesis subject, the OY Carinae star system, the focus of her future PhD within the University of Tasmania's physics department.
Honours students in the Physics department at the University of Tasmania can expect strong support from mentors and teachers, as well as an enthusiastic academic environment where there is always new research being published and discussed within the department.
Based on the experience of current students, a strong background in both mathematics and physics is beneficial. Student Morgan Febey majored in mathematics and physics during her Bachelor of Science, studying every available astrophysics unit in her second and third years before progressing to Honours.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
