Bachelor of Science (Biophotonics) (Honours) - Course Code: Z019

Multicourse programs

This course allows students, who possess a bachelor degree, to specialise in the exciting new fields of optical technologies. The general field of optical technology is in a state of enormous growth around the world, especially in Australia. A large number of industry areas are developing and/or implementing laser based technologies. Some of these include telecommunications, materials processing, materials development, medical diagnostics, data storage, precision optical sensing, and many others. The course combines coursework with a two-semester research project. The coursework concentrates on taking the student to the highest level of theoretical understanding required for original research involving laser technologies. On completion of the research project, the student is expected to have made a substantial and original contribution to their chosen field, and submitted a clear and concise thesis describing their work. As part of the formal research supervision, students are expected to perform as active members of a research team
