Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) - Physics of the Earth

The Physics of the Earth Honours specialisation is intended for students who are interested in undertaking an independent research project in Earth physics under the direction of a supervisor, and who have the foundational knowledge of a relevant field, such as Physics, Earth and Marine sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, or Computer Sciences. This specialisation usually consists of two consecutive full-time semesters, and includes training in research methods, options for training in data sciences, computational geosciences and other in-depth coursework, in addition to a substantial research project (24-36 units), culminating in an Honours thesis. Taken together, these provide a foundation for careers in a range of fields in industry and government organisations, as well as a pathway for postgraduate research in Masters or Ph.D. degrees.

Learning Outcomes
Plan and engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation of a chosen research topic to generate new knowledge in an area of Earth physics.

Systematically evaluate relevant theory and concepts in Earth physics, relate these to appropriate methodologies and evidence and draw appropriate conclusions.

Demonstrate capacity for generating original geophysical results through numerical, experimental, andor theoretical techniques.

Communicate and justify complex concepts and results clearly and effectively to a variety of audiences.
