Genetics is the study of the behaviour of the genes that are fundamental to all living organisms. In humans and all other species, genes influence every characteristic, from chemistry to appearance to behaviour to disease. Because genes affect every characteristic of every organism, each new development in genetics has far-reaching consequences.

Everything we use is made of materials, yet only a handful of these materials occur naturally. The rest have been microscopically engineered originally by nature, but increasingly by materials scientists and engineers. Materials science and engineering is the foundation for creating high-performance components and devices from metals, ceramics, polymers and composites for use in society.

Mathematics underpins all corners of science and technology. Mathematics specialisations can be broadly categorised into:

  • Pure mathematics – the study of concepts that transcend specific applications
  • Applied mathematics – developing models to make sense of scientific phenomena, solve technical/industrial problems and for use in the social, economic and natural sciences
  • Statistics can also be studied within a mathematics major or as a standalone major

Physics is the study of the laws of nature that govern the behaviour of the universe, from sub-atomic particles to the galaxies. It applies these laws to the solution of practical and theoretical problems and to the development of new technologies. The study of physics can take you from cosmology and astrophysics to exploring quantum computing, nanotechnology, big data and the history of the universe.
