Physics is a search for and an application of rules that can predict the evolution of the world around us.


This includes planetary motion, quantum jumps in atoms and the propagation of light.



Through central concepts such as energy, force, particles and waves, Physics attempts to answer fundamental question about Nature, while at the same time providing solutions to technological problems.


Learning how the physical world works is fascinating. It is also useful. Physics will hone your thinking ability, and help you to develop high level analytical and problem solving skills. In Otago's Physics department you will get to study with some of the country's top physicists. Our research informed teaching draws from a broad spectrum of expertise areas including geophysics, optics, energy science, atomic physics, electronics, and quantum theory.
