Physics

Course summary

Physics attempts to make sense of the world we live in by using Mathematics. It is often an extreme science: about the very big and the very small, or the very fast and the very slow. It is about how and why things work, and about what makes things appear and behave in the way they do. It deals with the historical development of ideas, as well as some of the most important technological and environmental issues of our time. It is the most fundamental and wide-ranging of the sciences. In short, it is about everything. We build on your IGCSE knowledge and skills, whether you intend to complete a full A level (with the aim, perhaps, of pursuing a career in science or engineering) or if you simply wish to continue studying this subject to broaden your curriculum.
