Dimensions and structure

The School of Physics and Advanced Materials comprises three broad component areas of learning and research, which are applied physics, nanotechnology and advanced materials.

The School offers a number of Bachelor’s degree programs and research-based Honours degree programs that are available only to suitably qualified Bachelor's degree graduates. It also offers both PhD and Master's programs by research, and has a well-developed research culture, and is proud of its history in teaching and research in applied and innovative science.

Research degrees focus on applied and practical physics, nanotechnology and material science to bring about benefits to the community and industry. The School collaborates closely with industry and other UTS research and study areas, such as the UTS Institute for Nanoscale and Technology, Green Lighting Research and the Micro-structural Analysis Unit.

Large proportion of the research members in the Institute for Nanoscale Technology, Micro-structural Analysis Unit and Green Lighting Research are academics from the School of Physics and Advanced Materials.
