Physics

Course summary

Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us and the world beyond us. Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts like quantum mechanics, and it leads to great discoveries, like computers and lasers, that lead to technologies which change our lives – from treating cancer, to developing sustainable energy solutions and telecommunication. It is the most basic and fundamental science. In this course you will discover the basic principles or laws which govern the natural world. The course develops quickly upon previous studies and builds students’ interest and enthusiasm for physics. Ideas from GCSE will be expanded upon using more rigorous mathematical methods.
