Physics

UPDATED 20161102 10:11:48

Physics is EVERYTHING. From the very smallest part of an atom, to the edges of the Universe, Physics is at the heart. From mobile phones to microwave ovens, hair dryers to space probes, when you delve deeper, it’s all Physics. Physicists explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. They probe the furthest reaches of the earth to study the smallest pieces of matter. Join us to enter a world deep beneath the surface of normal human experience. Did you know that people with a Physics related degree (Pure Physics, Engineering or Astronomy) earn an average £20000 more per year than the national average? Physicists attempt to gain a fundamental understanding of why the universe and its contents behave the way they do. By studying Physics at Advanced level you will develop and build on your current knowledge of what everything is made of and how objects move and interact. We will also study some of the phenomena which are not yet fully understood and are at the cutting edge of scientific research today. At AS Level you will study Measurements and their errors, Particles and Radiation, Waves, Mechanics and Materials and Electricity.
