Common Questions
Students can specialise in areas such as Astrophysics. For example, one student completed her Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physics specialising in Astrophysics, studying a close contact binary star system using the University's Greenhill Observatory.
Yes, the University of Tasmania has the Greenhill Observatory located north of Hobart, which houses 50cm and 1.3m optical telescopes available for student research projects.

Yes, Honours students are encouraged to continue their research at the PhD level. For instance, one Honours student plans to make her thesis subject — the OY Carinae star system — the focus of her future PhD research within the physics department.

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.
