What the college says

Who is it for? Physicists go anywhere, do anything. Financial institutions are increasingly employing physicists because of their analytical and problem solving skills. Students will learn about up-quarks and down-quarks, black holes and supernovae, but also everyday things like why aeroplanes fly and why digital electronics is proving so much more useful than analogue techniques. Where does it lead? Most A level physicists go on to study Engineering, Computer Science, or Medicine but as our lists in the Department show some have become lawyers, architects, politics students, economists, even physicists.
