GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science, grade B or better and GCSE Mathematics grade B or better are required for this course. Physicists try to understand how the Universe works.

Students will learn the basic rules governing forces, waves, electricity, magnetism and quantum theory. They will apply these ideas to all aspects of the world as we observe it – from distant galaxies to sub-atomic particles – from moving vehicles to computer chips.
