The Physics stream focuses on the physics and mathematics of a central concept in the physical sciences. 

The classroom-based programme is accompanied by hands-on sessions in our labs and computer programming workshops, where you will combine newly honed programming skills with theoretical knowledge to complete a team-based project.

In previous years, students have learned to look at a problem or physical situation using three different tools: the mathematics of calculus; performing experiments; and simulating the situation using a computer. 

On the Physics stream, you will:

• Conduct practical experiments, collect and analyse data;
• Encounter new mathematical techniques in a lecture-led teaching session;
• Learn the basics of the Python programming language and create computer simulations;
• Present the results of your experiment as a group;
• Finish the week with a real understanding of oscillations and their importance throughout the natural sciences.
