Our wide-ranging applied physics expertise gives you opportunities to develop specialist knowledge and honed research skills in your chosen area.

Under expert supervision, you will join researchers already active in:

advanced characterisation techniques
applied geophysics
biophysics and biological physics
computational modelling of matter
condensed matter
functional coatings
industrial and building acoustics
molecular transport in biological membranes
nano materials and nano fluidics
quantum information and quantum optics
radiation and medical physics
soft matter
superconductivity

This master degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode.

Many of our research activities are conducted within these related research centres and groups:

Centre for Molecular and Nanoscale Physics
Theoretical Chemical and Quantum Physics Research Group.

You will also have access to our modern semiconductor clean rooms.

Entry requirements

The minimum requirements for admission to a master by research program are:

a bachelor degree requiring at least four years of full-time study in a relevant discipline awarded with honours. The degree should include a research component comprised of a thesis, other research projects or research methodology courses that constitute at least 25% of a full-time academic year (or part-time equivalent). The applicant must have achieved at least a credit average in the final year; or
evidence of appropriate academic qualifications and/or experience that satisfies the Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research Training and Development or nominee that the applicant has developed knowledge of the field of study or cognate field and the potential for research sufficient to undertake the proposed program.

At RMIT a grade of credit represents academic achievement of 60% or higher.
