Student |
|
For tertiary students majoring in physics. Student member receive all
mailings and notices, plus The Australian and New Zealand Physicist,
and become eligible for Graduate Membership upon passing with a Physics
Major. |
Graduate |
|
A 3 year Pass Degree with a Physics Major is required from an accredited
tertiary institution. As a general rule, at least one third of the total
content of the degree course and one half of the content of the final year
should consist of topics in basic physics. |
Member |
|
The normal profession grade. Applicants must satisfy the requirments
for Graduate Membership and have had at least 5 years professional experience
in a physics-related occupation after graduation. |
Fellow |
|
Most Fellows have at least 15 years experience after graduation. They
usually have a PhD in physics and have published a number of well-regarded
articles in appropriate professional journals or occupy a senior leadership
position in industry or in government service. |
Associate |
|
Associate Membership is appropriate for those graduates whose major
is other than in physics. Secondary school teachers whose qualifications
are based on a Science Education degree rather than on a B.Sc. (Physics)
degree should normally apply for Associate membership, although additional
physics-based study may qualify them for Graduate or Member status. Each
application is carefully assessed on its merits. |
Subscriber |
|
Thus grade of membership is open to anyone with an interest in physics
in Australia. It is particularly appropriate for secondary schools to join
the institute as subscribers. |
