Overview

About this Microcredential

Physics is fundamental to all natural sciences and plays a central role in the development of new technologies. Physicists apply the laws of physics to contribute to fields such as astronomy, biology, communications, electronics and engineering.

The Physics Preparation bridging microcredential will provide you with a solid foundation for your university physics studies. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get to know other students, as well as the academics you'll be learning from throughout your studies.

Key features

  • Learn about kinematics and mechanics - Study vectors, scalars and motion - as well as forces, equilibrium, dynamics, Newton's laws, gravity, momentum, energy and power.
  • Explore waves and properties of matter - Study sound and electromagnetic waves - as well as constituents of matter, thermal properties of matter, fluids and ideal gases.
  • Investigate electrostatics and magnetism - Study .electrical and magnetic phenomena, and electronic circuits.
  • Examine thermodynamics  - Study molecules, and the behaviour of matter and energy at macroscopic levels.


Who should attend

This bridging microcredential is suitable for students intending to enrol in a university science or engineering degree but who didn't study physics in HSC level, for those needing to gain confidence in physics or for those wanting a refresher in physics.


Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to undertake this bridging microcredential.
