Physics

Introduction

The formation of a highly competitive and integrated world, fast scientific and technological growth, and the continuously growing knowledge base will continue to impact our lives.

In order to success in the challenges posed by these developments, Physics will provide a platform for developing scientific literacy and the essential scientific knowledge and skills for lifelong learning in science and technology.

Physics is one of the most fundamental natural sciences. It involves the study of universal laws, and of the behaviours and relationships among a wide range of physical phenomena: from atomic level to the whole universe.
