While studying physics, you are learning about the universe, from the smallest particles to the largest structures, and the properties that control the behaviour of matter. You enjoy taking basic principles and applying them to new problems or novel situations to see what will happen.
These skills may include:
- Application of theoretical concepts and scientific principles to unexplained or novel situations
- Observation and interpretation of relationships between factors
- Usage of computer programming to create complex models or solutions
- Application of logic, imagination, judgement, and abstract thinking to solve real-world problems
- Quantification of complex calculations and statistical analysis
- Communication of complex ideas through advanced technical writing
- Usage of a wide range of advanced instruments, machines, and lab equipment
