Course summary

Physics is one of the most challenging subjects, but the most interesting one as well. Physics is the study of the world around us and understanding why it works in the way it does. You will study the mechanics and fundamental constituents of the universe, of matter and energy, which ranges from the fundamental particles inside atoms to the complexities of space. The subject appeals to those with an inquisitive mind, a natural aptitude for mathematics and a keen eye for detail. Practical activities are used to consolidate and extend classroom learning, and the knowledge and understanding of these experiments are examined at the end of the course.
