What the college says

We are all born with the urge to understand the world around us. One of the first words we learn to say is ‘Why?’ and then, a little later ‘How?’ So you have probably asked in your time ‘Why is the sky blue?’, ‘How does a mobile phone work?’, ‘How does the Sun keep on shining?’, ‘What is dark matter?’ amongst other questions. If you find that the more answers you are given, the more questions you want to ask, then you could well be a physicist in the making and you should certainly consider studying Physics at A Level. Physics opens doors to a wider range of careers than almost any other subject. So if you are ambitious, if you enjoy a challenge and solving problems, Physics could be the right choice for you.
