Applied Physics (2023)
Applied Physics is designed for students who wish to gain knowledge of fundamental physics concepts as applied to chemistry, geophysics and the life sciences.
Applied Physics has been available as a minor.
To have completed a minor in Applied Physics, students needed to gain 60 points in Applied Physics comprising of APHYS111, APHYS211, APHYS212 and APHYS311.
