What the college says

Physics students will develop essential knowledge and understanding in Physics and, where appropriate, the applications of Physics, and the skills needed for the use of this in new and changing situations. They will also develop mathematical skills to explain the quantitative nature of Physics together with practical skills and an understanding of the link between theory and experiment. They will acquire sufficient understanding and knowledge to become confident citizens in a technological world and be able to take, or develop an informed interest in matters of scientific importance. As a result they will be able to recognise the usefulness and limitation of scientific methods and to appreciate how they can be applied in other disciplines and in everyday life and develop an appreciation of how Physics has developed and is used in present day society. Ultimately they will be able to show the importance of Physics as a human endeavour which interacts with social, philosophical, economic, industrial and environmental matters.
