Physics

Course summary

Physics, the subject that gave us space flight, microwave ovens, the Internet and the Thermos flask! It is the key that unlocks many careers and professions, from architecture to aeronautics and radiography to physiotherapy. Physics tries to explain the rules that govern the whole of the universe, from tiny quarks to huge galaxies. The course covers the work of some of the truly great historical figures that have changed the world; Galileo, Newton, Curie, Einstein and Bohr, whilst providing the chance to apply their discoveries watching films such as “Apollo 13”, visiting CERN near Geneva or taking part in the Physics Olympiad.
