Course summary

Physics is the ultimate subject to study if you wish to investigate how our universe works – from the forces and energy that drive everything, to the matter that makes up stars and people, to the waves that allow us to communicate. The scales range from the Quantum Physics of the tiny to the Astrophysics and Gravitation of the immense. Physics explores the fundamental concepts underlying other scientific disciplines and allows the scientific method to be practised and applied to many experiences and challenges.
