By the end of the course, you will not only have learnt about how nature works but equally importantly you will have developed a range of valuable skills including analytical, critical and creative thinking, the ability to collect, analyse and interpret evidence, powers of logical deduction and effective communication of complex information in a variety of formats. Success in Physics is prized both by universities and employers as a sign of a strong intellect, and the possession of these skills is a highly valued qualification for a wide variety of scientific, technical, commercial and creative professions.
