Physics is a search for and an application of rules that can predict the evolution of the world around us. This includes planetary motion, quantum jumps in atoms and the propagation of light. Through central concepts such as energy, force, particles and waves, Physics attempts to answer fundamental question about Nature, while at the same time providing solutions to technological problems. It is recommended that students enrolling for a Physics degree have a background in NCEA level 3 Physics and/or Mathematics. All courses involve a mixture of lectures and practical laboratories, so you will have plenty of opportunities to gain hands-on experience in problem solving. Several of our courses, in particular our first year courses PHSI 131 and 132, make use of “Classroom Response Systems”, where the lecturer poses a multiple-choice questions and each student submits an answer using a handheld transmitter. The submitted answers then forms the basis of engaging in-class discussions centered on pivotal concepts of Physics.
