Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours

Honours students in Physics at the University of Tasmania have the opportunity to conduct original research using facilities such as the 50cm and 1.3m optical telescopes at the University's Greenhill Observatory north of Hobart, and can work on projects involving under-researched stellar objects and other areas of astrophysics.

Yes, students completing a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physics at the University of Tasmania can specialise in Astrophysics, with astrophysics units available in second and third years and the option to focus an Honours thesis on topics such as optical astronomy and binary star systems.

Because the University of Tasmania is located in the southern hemisphere, its Greenhill Observatory has a unique advantage for observing stellar objects located close to the south celestial pole that are impossible to observe from most of the northern hemisphere, making UTas particularly well-positioned for certain astrophysical research.

Yes, completing a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physics at the University of Tasmania can lead into PhD study, as demonstrated by students who plan to continue researching their Honours thesis topics at the doctoral level within the same physics department.

Students in the Physics department at the University of Tasmania report receiving incredible support from mentors and teachers, and describe the department as having sheer enthusiasm among its physics teachers, with a vibrant research culture where staff are always publishing new work and engaging with students.
