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. In 2014, over 97% of CISaustralia participants received
academic credit from their Australian university for their CISaustralia study, volunteer or
intern program.

PHYSICS OF HEALTH SCIENCES - CAS PY 104 – 4 US Credits
Recommended for students majoring in athletic training, physical therapy, or speech,
language & hearing sciences. A one-semester physics course for students who do not
require a two-semester sequence. Students must register for two sections: a lecture
section and a laboratory section.
ELEMENTARY PHYSICS 1 - CAS PY 105 – 4 US Credits
Principles of classical and modern physics. Mechanics, conservation laws, and heat.
Students must register for two sections: a lecture section and a laboratory section.
Elementary Physics 2 - CAS PY 106
Principles of classical and modern physics. Electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, light,
atomic and nuclear physics. Students must register for two sections: a lecture section and
a laboratory section.
GENERAL PHYSICS - CAS PY 211 – 4 US Credits
For premedical students who seek a more analytical course than CAS PY 105/106, and for
science majors and engineers. Basic principles of physics emphasizing Newtonian
mechanics, conservation laws and thermal physics. Students must register for two
sections: a lecture section and a laboratory section.

GENERAL PHYSICS - CAS PY 212 – 4 US Credits
For science majors, engineers, and premedical students who wish a more analytical course
than CAS PY 105/106. Basic principles of physics emphasizing electricity, magnetism, and
geometrical optics. Students must register for two sections: a lecture section and a
laboratory section.
PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE - CAS PH 270 – 4 US Credits
Uses scientific examples from the study of physics, biology, and mind. Focuses on the aims
of science, the nature of scientific understanding, the structure and interpretation of
scientific theories, and the development of science.

COLLEGE PHYSICS I - PHYS 111 – 3 US Credits
Non-calculus introduction to vectors, kinematics, Newtonian mechanics of translational,
rotational, and oscillatory motion, energy and momentum conservation, and
thermodynamics. Students will gain an understanding of analytical description of motion
and application of conservation laws; develop scientific insight and proficiency in solving
representative problems.
COLLEGE PHYSICS LAB I - PHYS 111L – 1 US Credit
Laboratories cover selected topics in introductory mechanics, including freefall, uniform
circular motion, work-energy, collisions, rotational motion, and harmonic motion.
Students will gain experience and familiarity with basic measuring devices and simple
mechanics equipment. Understand measurement errors and their propagation, plotting
and interpretation of data, the connection between theory and experiment for selected
topics in elementary mechanics.
COLLEGE PHYSICS II - PHYS 112 – 3 US Credits
This course is a continuation of Physics 111. Lecture and discussion of electricity and
magnetism, sound, optics and selected topics from modern physics.
COLLEGE PHYSICS LAB II - PHYS 112L – 1 US Credit
One two-hour laboratory period per week, to complement Physics 112.

BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS
The paper is intended for students who have passed their laboratory component in the
2013 Semester One PHSI 191 course but failed the paper overall with a total mark of at
least 30%. This paper will be similar to PHSI 191, although there will be no laboratory
component, and it will have significant more tutorial-style contact. The laboratory
component of a student’s internal assessment in the 2013 Semester One paper will be
carried over to the Summer School paper.
