What the college says

This course presents you with an engaging and very challenging opportunity to explore a diverse range of topic areas from the subatomic to the infinite. During the course you will develop not only the application of mathematical skills, but also the ability to think with an analytical approach about abstract ideas and concepts. Physics also encourages the use of knowledge and application of skills that have been developed throughout the course. It is more than a subject - it trains your brain to think beyond boundaries. The skills learned during the course are easily transferable and very much in demand by employers and universities: a practical approach to problem solving, ability to reason clearly and communicate well, being numerate and open to new ideas and concepts.
