Is Junior (first year) Physics the same as HSC Physics?
Junior (first year) Physics covers many of the subject areas you may have encountered in HSC Physics, but it isn’t just a repeat. The university course builds on the interest and understanding promoted by the HSC syllabus. It aims to provide a solid mathematical and theoretical understanding of the core areas of Physics plus some areas new to you such as Thermal Physics. It also develops you experimental abilities. After a year we hope you will begin to see the relationships between different areas of Physics, be able to use to important concepts to solve problems using words, equations and experiments as the situation requires.
