What the college says

Physics involves the study of the world around us and how we can relate mathematical principles to these situations. The study stems from Mechanics and Forces, through Electromagnetism to Quantum Physics where we look at phenomena on an atomic scale that cannot be described by ‘Newtonian’ Physics. You’ll develop a logical approach to problem solving as well as your ability to understand abstract principles. The course encourages imaginative and critical thinking and develops your skills in laboratory procedures. In Physics you will need to be able to communicate effectively, be able to carry out research, work independently and critically think about problems. Good practical skills are also important as Physics is a very practical subject.
