Cambridge Pre-U Physics (9792)

Syllabus overview

Cambridge Pre-U Physics gives learners a firm foundation in classical physics, along with an introduction to some intellectually stimulating modern concepts such as special relativity, quantum physics and astrophysics. It develops learners' understanding of the historical development of some concepts of physics, and the link between experiment and theory. The course allows some degree of flexibility, enabling teachers to adapt their teaching to suit the differing needs of learners.
