Course Overview
This course can either be studied at Wakefield College or Selby College.
Physics is the study of the properties and interactions of matter and energy. Our understanding of many features of the everyday world relies on knowledge drawn from the ideas and methods of Physics.
On this course you will study how things work, from subatomic particles to galaxies going through light, electrical and magnetic fields, electric circuits, thermodynamics, and properties of materials. You will study these phenomena in class through theory, experiments and computer simulations.
