Physics is about trying to understand our world by observing natural phenomena, gathering data and attempting to predict what might happen in new and unknown situations. Physicists use ingenious methods to unlock the amazing secrets of our universe, to test their ideas and finally come to conclusions that, sometimes, defy belief. Physics gives us the fundamental knowledge from which all scientific research and study is based. It is an exciting and wide ranging subject which has an impact in almost every aspect of society and will give you skills and knowledge useful in many industries and further studies.
