Precision Instrumentation and Measurement

This program Attracts the history and Existing expertise of three leading research schools at ANU: the Research School of Physics and Engineering, the Research School of Earth Sciences, and the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Each of these Schools is at the forefront of modern scientific research and also possess an outstanding pedigree at the development of advanced scientific instrumentation. You will end up learning from ANU scientists that have worked on projects involving: The design and development of instrumentation for its Nobel-prize winning discovery of gravitational waves. A high heeled ion microprobe for geological analysis. A high heeled x-ray computed tomography instrument for its study of disordered and porous materials, along with an integral-field spectrograph for an international, next-generation, thirty-meter class optical telescope. Within this program, you are able to learn exactly the most advanced methods for studying the heavens, our planet, and also everything in-between. The interdisciplinary expertise you acquire will impact on diverse aspects of fundamental scientific research in addition to industrial applications. The program aims to produce graduates with profound insight and creative knowhow to pursue related careers in science, industry, and government, with a focus on innovation, team work, and getting results. The level is a variety of class work and projects, including person and group-based research.

A bachelor degree or international equivalent with GPA of 5.0/7.0 as well as at least eight courses in the subject of Physics or Engineering. Mathematics at least at the level of both MATH2305 (Ordinary Differential Equations and Vector Calculus)
