The course delves straight into our understanding of matter and what really exists inside of an atom.

Students will then be met with the work of Bohr and how the bedrock ofclassical physics was about to be turned on its head.

After developing our understanding of the quantum nature of matter and light, students will then establish strongerlinks in our understanding of wave behaviour and evidence for this behaviour.

The first-year course then finishes with students applyingtheir skills to real life electrical circuits and having the opportunity to solve through experimentation.

In the final year of the course students will have built on their previous studies and delve into Newton’s classical mechanics through linearand rotational motion. This allows students to predict planetary motion around orbiting bodies and relate this to electric fields. Students finish their Year 13 core material with establishing how to harness nuclear fuel and control the thermodynamic behaviour of materials. In the final term students will specialise in a field of their choice between Astro, Engineering and Medical Physics.
