Below is a list of the topics that I have studied in year 1 and a brief description of what each topic is about.

Communication Skills: This course is vital in teaching us how to communicate our ideas scientifically and clearly.
Examples of topics are: Writing a report; Writing an informal letter; Creating a website; Writing a short essay; Writing a longer essay.

Mathematical Methods I: This consists of learning the maths needed in our course. Much of this is an extension to A-Level Maths.
Examples of topics are: Differentiation; Integration; Vectors; Sequences and series; Complex Numbers.

Mathematical Methods II: Again, this is covering the maths needed in the physics course. It is more advanced than Mathematical Methods I.
Examples of topics are: Differenctial equations; Differential vector operators; Coordinate systems; Matrices; Special Relativity.

Classical Mechanics: This teaches us what we need to know about Newton's laws of motion and all the laws which have sprouted from this. It is essential in out understanding of physics as it provides us with knowledge of the laws of forces, mass, motion, momentum, energy etc... which play such a vital role in physics!

Physics of the Universe: This taught us about physics of our observable Universe, from as small as neutrinos to as big as...well...the Universe!

Thermal Physics: Do you like Physics? Do you like Chemistry? Then you'll love Thermal Physics! It deals with thermodynamics, interactions of molecules, ideal gases, heat, work, entropy and much more!

Waves, Optics and Acoustics: This course deals with waves of all sorts - waves for sight, waves for sound, and even waves for the Sea! It teaches us about light diffraction, interference, etc... It also teaches us about lenses, mirrors, among other things.

Laboratory Work: Every week we attend the laboratory for seven hours of laboratory work, where we tackle different projects, producing a write up for each experiment in our log books as we do them. Furthermore, we are required to complete two formal reports for two of the experiments (of our choosing). Some of the experiments are designed for us to verify known physical laws, and to calculate values of constants., etc...
