Diploma in Science in Physics

University of Canterbury

A Diploma in Science (DipSc) is a great option to learn a variety of scientific skills in a single year. This Diploma allows you to study interesting science courses, upskill in new areas, and gain professional development in your career. Study Involve: Study a wide range of Science subjects, from beginner's to advanced level. This Diploma can be studied full-time in 1 year, or part-time for up to 6 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Bachelor of Science with the ability to transfer your completed courses to that degree. Physics explores the behaviour between matter and energy - from subatomic particles to the scale of the universe. Technology and physics go hand-in-hand, and they improve our lives massively. From computers, architecture to agriculture, modern life is built using the understanding of physics. Studying this field will prepare you to contribute to major advances in technology now and in the future. Study Involve: Lab experiments, fieldwork, and computing skills in our state-of-the-art facilities including a nano lab, super conduction magnet lab, cloud chamber, and cryogenics lab. UC has contributed much to the field with alumnus like Ernest Rutherford and Beatrice Tinsley, with current research including Medical Physics, Nanotechnology, and Cosmology.
