CISaustralia is a leading provider of overseas study, intern, and volunteer programs for
Australian university students. We pride ourselves in providing personally and
academically engaging programs in each of our carefully chosen overseas locations.
CISaustralia is committed to working closely with partner universities in Australia and
providing students with academic credit towards their degree for any overseas study,
volunteer or intern experience. Over 98% of CISaustralia participants receive academic
credit from their Australian university for their CISaustralia study, volunteer or intern
program.
Please find the following subjects and associated programs related to Physics. (Please
note: For exact program dates and subject offerings for programs with multiple sessions,
please visit the specific program web pages.)
January in Dunedin, New Zealand

BIOLOGICAL PHYSICS
Foundations of physics for the health sciences, including mechanics, properties of fluids
and solids, thermodynamics and DC circuits, and radiation and health.
This course is intended for students who have passed their laboratory component in the
2016 first semester PHSI 191 course but failed the course overall with a total mark of at
least 30%. This course will be similar to PHSI 191 although there will be no laboratory
component, and it will have significantly more tutorial-style contact. The laboratory
component of a student’s internal assessment in the 2016 first semester course will be
carried over to the Summer School course.
July in Boston, MA, USA
