What the college says

Physicists aim to gain a deeper understanding of the natural world, ranging from identifying the smallest fundamental particles right up to explaining how the Universe has evolved. Over the course, you will study how to work scientifically and apply physics principles to applications and practicals; we study topics such as materials, gravitational and magnetic fields, mechanics, electrical circuits, waves and the particle nature of light, nuclear radiation, nuclear and particle physics and space. Physicists are systematic, clear thinkers who can solve complex problems; these skills are highly valued, and students might typically pursue degrees in courses ranging from Physics, Material Sciences, Medicine and Engineering and Radiography to employment in the Scientific or Financial Sectors. Opportunities: Links with Cambridge University Department of Physics and local businesses. Contact: Mrs C Lowe - clowe@ashlyns.herts.sch.uk
