What do you study in Physics?

Physics is the science that seeks to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level. From the behaviour of the smallest particles to the expansion of the cosmos, studying Physics means learning to ask the right questions and find answers with mathematical and experimental rigour.

  • Classical mechanics and relativity: how bodies move and what space-time is
  • Quantum physics: the strange world of atoms and subatomic particles
  • Thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optics
  • Astrophysics and cosmology: the origin and structure of the universe
  • Experimental laboratory work and computational modelling
  • Applied mathematics as an essential tool

A career in Physics opens doors to scientific research, technology, quantitative finance, artificial intelligence and much more.
