Course Details
The fact that the universe is governed by simple equations is compelling – but to understand these equations is truly amazing! Throughout the course you will come to learn these laws and apply them to everyday observations. Experimentation will be used to reinforce theory – where core practical skills will be embedded continuously in a variety of contexts. In year one you begin your journey with fundamental principles of Physics – Particle and Quantum Physics. You will be exposed to a fascinating spectrum of particles which are key to understanding and explaining the existence of our universe.
