Physics

Course summary

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, offering a very broad education and a good deal of practical work. It is essential for pupils planning to study physical sciences or engineering at university, and is very useful for pupils wishing to study medicine or other sciences. It is also an acceptable course for most other degrees. A level mathematics is not compulsory for those wishing to study physics, although it is undoubtedly an advantage and provides excellent support to the course. Non-mathematicians may expect to receive additional help and support during the course.
