Advanced Level Physics


Physics is a key part of Science and Technology.

Physics deals with why things behave as they do. It includes topics such as electricity, heat, wave motion, and radioactivity.

A knowledge of physics is necessary to understand a host of things which effect our lives. If you want to extend your knowledge of the world around you, from a scientific point of view, then you'll enjoy physics for its own sake; but physics also opens up to you a huge range of career opportunities.
