The range of possible subject combinations allows you to build a degree unique to your interests: from History to Physics, Communication to Computer Science, and Māori Studies to Marine Science, as well as a wide range of foreign languages. You’ll learn the value of subjectivity and objectivity of creativity and critique of free thought and rational argument. You will develop advanced analytical and numerical abilities alongside strong written and verbal communication skills, and an understanding of the cultural, societal and historical context of scientific discovery. Graduates of a BA/BSc conjoint are uniquely prepared for the careers of tomorrow. With fundamental capabilities such as superior communication skills and critical and creative thinking, alongside advanced analytical and problem-solving abilities, you’ll be well equipped for an evolving employment landscape.Physics seeks to understand the basic properties of matter and energy and to use this knowledge to create new technologies and devices, explain the properties of complex systems and to model emergent phenomena. Physics is arguably the most fundamental of all sciences. If you understand the principles of physics and the laws of nature you’ll have a sharp insight into the world around you. All of modern science and technology is underpinned by physics. A degree in Physics will give you an understanding of the nature of matter as well as training in experimental methods and the mathematical analysis of physical processes.
