Physics

Course summary

Physics is the most fundamental and all-inclusive of the sciences, providing a foundation for study in a wide range of fields such as engineering, electronics, geophysics, and astronomy to name but a few. It is also relevant in increasingly technical professions such as medicine, dentistry, and architecture. You will already have studied a wide range of topics at GCSE such as waves, electricity, and forces. These areas will be studied in more detail in order to develop a deeper understanding along with new topics such as the quantum nature of light, cosmology, nuclear decay, and wave-particle duality.
