Why choose Physics?

Physics deals with questions about the fundamental nature of our Universe. What is it made from? How do matter and energy behave within it? How can we harness both to our greatest advantage? The application of physics principles can be used to help solve some of the most pressing problems of our time, such as how we can meet the ever-increasing demand for energy in an environmentally friendly way. As well as being a fascinating and stimulating subject, physics will be at the core of future technological developments. Physicists will always be in demand!
