Physics is not just a collection of concepts and theories but rather a different way of challenging our imagination. With concepts ranging from the smallest subatomic particles to the whole Universe, this course will allow you to learn new ways of thinking on a journey to start to search for and explain the fundamental answers of the Universe. Physics is a practical subject and throughout the course, students will carry out a wide range of practical activities to develop their skills and understanding, and to prepare them to study a physics-based subject at university.
