What the college says

Physics is all around us. It is in the electric light you turn on in the morning: the car you hope to drive to work; your wristwatch, mobile phone, games console, and that 3DTV you want for Christmas. It makes the stars shine every night and the sun shine every day, and it makes a rugby ball soar between two posts for that essential last minute drop kick. In studying Physics you will use theories, models and ideas to develop and modify scientific explanations, consider applications and implications of science and appreciate their associated benefits and risks. An AS in Physics is considered desirable by both employers and universities alike as it is a complex and demanding subject which embeds many of the skills and qualities essential in today's world.
