Course Summary

Having produced the likes of Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking, there’s no better place to study physics than at Cambridge.

The Reach Cambridge Physics & Astronomy course introduces students to a range of subjects taught by scientists at the cutting edge of physics research, such as nuclear physics, particle physics, nanotechnology, astrophysics and relativity. Students are also taught the mathematical basis for many of these exciting topics, to help familiarise them with the basic logical principles at work.

In our STEM courses, as a part of academic enrichment, students are also exposed to the latest scientific innovations, and to the research and development work that is carried out before a product/test is released into the market. The course is taught through a mixture of lectures, discussions, practicals and problem-solving tasks, with a strong emphasis on developing students’ skills in the subject as well as increasing their knowledge.
