At 100 level there are four core courses,听,听,听听补苍诲听听which are required for all students intending to major in Physics or Astronomy. They should also take听.听 In addition to these, students intending to major in Astronomy are required to take听听in Semester One.

Students with fewer than 14 credits at NCEA level 3 Physics should take听PHYS 111听before advancing to听PHYS 101听补苍诲听102.

• The听Science Headstart听programme offers a bridging course.
• 础听Certificate in Science听is a good option for those who don't want to commit to a full-time degree.
• Check the entry requirements on the听Physics subject page.
• International students should refer to听UC's International web page.

For Physical Science or Engineering, the choice of first-year courses will depend on your previous experience (in particular your results from NCEA physics and mathematics with calculus) and future plans.

The core physics paper for Engineering Intermediate Year is听听and is offered twice a year听鈥� in Semesters One and Two.

Students with 14 credits in NCEA Level 3 Physics and Mathematics and Calculus, or acceptable similar qualifications, will be permitted to take this course. Other students are required to take听听offered in the first semester.

Either entry route would enable completion of the basic Engineering Intermediate Year in one year or the completion of a BSc in three years. Students who qualify for听听but have fewer than 14 credits in Level 3 NCEA Physics) may find听听quite challenging. These students are encouraged to consider taking听听蹿颈谤蝉迟.

For those planning to advance in Physical Science or to proceed to Electrical and Electronic Engineering,听听is offered in the second semester, with听听as the usual prerequisite.

Students with 18 level 3 NCEA credits in Physics and Mathematics and Calculus will also be admitted.听听is also offered during the summer. This enables those students who take the听听补苍诲听听path in their first year to pick up听听over the summer and so complete the courses required for advancement in either Physics or Electrical Engineering.

Notes

1. A student may be permitted by the HOD to obtain a double major in Physics and Mathematics with PHYS 381 replaced by PHYS 326 as a required course.

Required for postgraduate

Students intending to proceed to BSc (Hons) or MSc in Physics, Medical Physics or Astronomy should take:听
(1) an additional two courses from 300-level PHYS or ASTR;
and (2) two additional courses from 300-level MATH or STAT.

Students intending to take听Mathematical Physics听in postgraduate studies should take a double major in Physics and Mathematics and replace PHYS381 by PHYS326 Classical Mechanics and Symmetry Principles as a majoring requirement.

Each October the PHYS 300 level guide is updated and available on request by emailing the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences office.

For all prescribed courses for a basic Bachelor of Science in Physics see听degree regulations. 听These include recommended courses for intending postgraduate study paths.
