What the college says

Physics looks for all the hidden laws that explain why all matter and energy in the known universe exists, where it comes from and how it behaves the way it does. This study is important to help develop new materials, machinery and technology to improve our lives. Physicists deal with the very small and the very big. Physics will support your study of other science and tech subjects including Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Geography and IT. Physics is especially closely linked to Maths, so studying the two together can improve your skills in both. Physics will also help you to build upon problem solving, research and analytical skills.
