If numbers and its relevance to the natural world intrigue you, the study of Physics will open the door to a whole new world of understand that explains the the natural order of things in relation to mathematics.

Physics studies the fundamental laws of nature and examines the structure of materials and particles - the stuff that makes up the very universe itself. This subject requires a good grounding in mathematics, as students will be expected to explain the physical world in mathematical terms.

Physics will let you explore nature’s secrets; study the universe to see how it is formed. It will examine the smallest component of life – the atom – to something as large as a parallel universe. Besides the study of theory, you will also carry out experiments and solve mathematical equations in the quest to understand the underlying logic and the theoretical structure that unifies and explains all the different phenomena of the universe.

Academically, the study of Physics will cover the fundamentals such as; the properties of matter, electromagnetism, quantum and classical mechanics, statistical physics and thermodynamics. Students can then further specialize into topics such as astronomy, space and science, and applied physics. The study of Physics will invariably culminate with a major project to let students put all they have learned to the test and investigate their own ideas.
