Physics is the foundation of many important science and engineering disciplines. Understanding its basics is fundamental for advanced studies. In this course, you will have the chance to review the fundamentals either for your own interest, or to ensure you have a smooth start in the first year of your Bachelor’s degree.
The course aims to close the readiness gap between high school and university. It was specifically developed for potential future students: it covers physics topics that are a prerequisite for many engineering programs, but will also show you how these topics are applied in the various follow-up studies (For example in Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering). The course not only covers the content needed for further study but also introduces the different ways in which physics is presented at university level to ensure an easy entry to a new degree program.
This course is intended for:
This course revises high school level physics and moves on to show how it is presented at university level. It closes the readiness gap between high school and university. Participants should have the following background knowledge:
On completion of the course, participants will:
Module 1: Mechanics
Module 2: Electricity and Magnetism
Module 3: Waves
The most valuable thing about this course for me was that I had a chance to revise all the knowledge I had covered during high school. Also this knowledge was explained in a more abstract and mathematical way with videos deriving the equations I learned in high school.
This course has greatly increased my confidence in my knowledge about physics.
