Physics is the most basic and fundamental science and the laws of physics govern the behaviour of the Universe. The study of physics looks at the nature and properties of matter and energy. <br><br>Physics students develop critical thinking skills, an ability to pose challenging questions, and solve problems.<br><br>Physicists may pursue careers in research areas including telecommunications, quantum computing, astrophysics, biophysics, and photonics. Their ability to analyse and problem solve, coupled with their strong mathematical skills makes them useful to many industry areas such as areas communications, computing, electronics, finance, and biomedical technology.
