Physics is an exciting and challenging subject which examines both the origins and the structure of the universe from subatomic particles to the vast areas of the cosmos. Physics affects every part of our daily lives from civil mechanical motor and aeronautical engineering to how we have harnessed both nuclear energy to heat and light our environment and waves to communicate (and to play the guitar!). Without a knowledge of Physics there would be no x-rays CT scans or radiotherapy no aeroplanes no Formula 1 no smartphones no satellites and no Internet. In addition to the four main modules described below you will learn the scientific skills of planning implementing analysis and evaluation through practical work completed in the well-equipped Physics laboratory. These practicals will develop your understanding of the way that science works and leads to a better grasp of the concepts studied. There will be opportunities to assess errors and how accurate your experimental results are so that you can decide on the validity of the results taken and the conclusions which you have made. You will also become familiar with the SI units and standard prefixes used throughout Physics. During your course you will have opportunities to meet and be mentored by STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) professionals to attend stimulating lectures and to take advantage of our excellent location to visit highly-relevant local companies and research institutions.
