Why study a Bachelor of Science with Honors?
Part-time study for Honours in Physics involves the units PHS4110 and PHS4120 (in place of PHS4100)
And PHS4210 and PHS4220 (in place of PHS4200) - they only differ in the time taken to complete the course.
Similar units (just with ASP instead of PHS) exist for Astrophysics.
