20 hours per week.
Five core modules include physics and mathematics. One optional module can be chosen from a range of science, engineering or computing-related modules. The physics modules are taught at the same level as the Scottish Advanced Higher syllabus.
Aspects of atomic physics and thermodynamics are also taught.
You will branch out to other areas including classical mechanics, special relativity, optics, electronics, oscillations and waves, properties of matter, and mathematical methods for physicists. Practical and professional skills are also developed.
Core modules include electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics. Two optional modules can be chosen from complex analysis, advanced optics, imaging and nuclear medicine.
Subjects are more advanced developments of those undertaken in Year 3, with additional topics including nuclear and particle physics, solid state physics, surface analysis and detectors, partial differential equations, and applications of nuclear physics.
