Physics
Planning your exchange: The Physics (Physics specialisation) major has several Level 2 pre-requisite subjects. The easiest time to go on exchange is in Semester 2 of Year 2 as there are fewer required subjects. Students should attempt to find equivalent subjects to PHYC20015 Special Relativity and Electromagnetism and MAST20030 Differential Equations
Students considering a Chemical Physics major may find it quite difficult to go on exchange as there are a significant number of Level 2 pre-requisite subjects.
Mapped subjects for the Physics major (all streams) include;
| University of Melbourne subject | Partner institution | Equivalent subject | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHYC20015 Special Relativity and Electromagnetism | Durham University | Special Relativity and Electromagnetism II | Durham University only accepts year long exchange students, commencing in UoM Semester 2 |
| MAST20009 Vector Calculus | Carnegie Melon University | Calculus in Three Dimensions | Subject is missing general curvilinear coordinates and the vector identities, but is still a good replacement for MAST20009 |
| PHYC200015 Special Relativity and Electromagnetism | Durham University | Special Relativity and Electromagnetism II | Durham University only accepts year long exchange students, commencing in UoM Semester 2 |
